Chapter 12 The Filial Girl and the Crooked Neck Tree on the Coal Mountain at Night
……
The night is like water, and the natural thick clouds cover the moonlight.
On the coal mountain, you can't see your five fingers, occasionally the clouds open, revealing the corner of the ice wheel, the cold and cold light is sprinkled, the shadows of the trees are swaying all over the mountain, and the shadows of the trees are swaying, and the haze seems to be crowded, but there is no anger at all, and the night owl is tearing and roaring, and the ghost domain of the world.
The cold wind blew the trees with a rustling sound, as if the ghost door was wide open, and all the ghosts roamed the streets, and the timid were afraid that they would be frightened immediately.
The great tomorrow is not affected, galloping like a fly in the mountains, and the pride in his chest is surging, "Zen staff in hand, where can I not go to the house in this world?" ”
Suddenly, I heard a sound in the bushes in front of me, not like an animal rising at night, but like a human.
The Son of Heaven is overjoyed, at this time, the traitor or thief in the wild just makes the Sprinkler family move!
Raise the shovel and pounce on it.
Unexpectedly, suddenly there was a flash of fire, and a man came out from behind the tree, holding a fire fold in his hand.
Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and looked at it by the firelight, but it was a young woman of fifteen or sixteen years old.
With a girl's unique hanging bun, Emei is light and beautiful, and she is an excellent girl.
Then he frowned.
If others saw this beautiful girl, they were afraid that they would be scared half to death on the spot.
Without her, she wore a white filial piety robe, tied hemp rope around her waist, and wiped her forehead with a white cloth on her head.
It doesn't matter if you see it on weekdays, in the middle of the night, even if the country is beautiful and fragrant, it is a little more ghostly for no reason.
But the ghost saw that the Son of Heaven was not afraid at all, but asked curiously, "You little lady, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" ”
"This is Coal Mountain, you can come, why can't I come?" The girl asked rhetorically without showing weakness, and her voice was charming and beautiful.
The girl held a shovel in one hand.
"What are you doing with a shovel in the middle of the night?!"
"Oh, the little woman is digging a grave. In order to find a place to be buried, but it took a lot of thought, I don't know why you ......" The girl's voice revealed a little gloomy.
In the middle of the night, a plain girl said that she would dig a grave......
When ordinary people heard this, they were afraid that they would immediately hug their heads and run away, and they couldn't wait to run as far as they could.
That's what the girl originally said:
Coal Mountain is a royal forbidden garden, ordinary people are not allowed to enter and exit at will, there used to be the Royal Forest Army, now the soldiers are in chaos, the elite are transferred to defend the city, the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled, can barely patrol a few steps during the day, and in the evening they all sleep like dead pigs.
There is no military pay, only a little old rice military rations to fill the stomach, and it is better to fall asleep, and the ghosts come to patrol at night.
The girl had a chance to sneak in.
She was very bold, but when she suddenly met someone, she was still a little panicked, so she wanted to say something to scare people away.
Helpless, he is facing the first hero of Liangshan who is not afraid of heaven and earth......
Emperor Chongzhen didn't think about being scared at all, but said, "The Sprinkle family is hungry, come out and fight a few fat dogs......"
"Hehe" The girl sneered, but she was annoyed in her heart, "This guy looks like Sven, how can he speak rudely, like a border army, listening to this voice is naturally heroic, and he didn't tremble at all, but he didn't know why he was afraid?" ”
Since the other party is not afraid, then the girl naturally has to be afraid......
In the middle of the night, men and women are lonely, although they have "blades" in their hands - shovels used to dig the soil.
But by the light of the fire, I could see that the man on the other side looked delicate, and the thing in his hand was a real murder weapon.
At this time, it is useless to be afraid, so you can only bluff the other party first......
This guy in front of him doesn't seem to have a good head, and it depends on my aunt's ability!
Thinking of this, she said, "This is the forbidden garden in the palace, can you come during the day?" Can you still beat a dog when you come? If you don't believe me, I'll shout a few times, and the Praetorian Army will come. ”
Sharp teeth, but the Son of Heaven doesn't know how to refute, whether it is Zhu Youzhen or Lu Zhishen, they are not sharp teeth, when they encounter problems, the former is habitually incompetent and angry, is the latter ...... The fist, the Zen staff, the sword, which one is not more convenient to evoke than the tongue?
"Girl, who are you buried, and why are you buried here? What about coffins? Lu Zhishen decided not to rap with her.
"Sure enough, this rammer has a smart face," the girl was a little annoyed.
Obviously, his previous psychological intimidation words were in vain, and he didn't think about the supernatural aspect at all, and he knew that it would be more convenient to pretend to be a ghost directly, but he looked up at this person's eyes.
But now it's too late to regret it, the girl already has a grievance in her heart, and she can't express her intention for many years, but here and now inexplicably let her have the idea of expressing her chest.
"Since we met in the barren mountains late at night, everyone is also fateful, under the firelight, we can only vaguely see our faces, even if we walk on the street tomorrow, you and I can't recognize each other, so I'll just say it."
"I'm burying my ancestor, and his remains are in a jar next to me."
"The ancestor was actually cremated in the bone field?" Lu Zhishen was also curious.
Cremation is not uncommon, he had it at that time, Wu Dalang was cremated, fortunately, Uncle He Jiu secretly hid a blackened bone for Wu Song, which solved the poisoning case.
But the Chinese people have always paid attention to entering the soil for safety, digging a pit and burying it, isn't it more convenient than sending it to be burned, not to mention that this girl is digging a pit at the moment......
"Yes, who doesn't want to leave a whole corpse and suffer from fire after death? It's a pity that the ancestor of the family is Jiutai Gong! ”
"What!" Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "That Jiutai Gong?" Girl's name, Lu? ”
"Exactly, the name of the ancestor is like a rise! Former Governor of Xuanda! I'm his granddaughter! ”
Emperor Chongzhen was also stunned.
Lu Xiangsheng, the anti-gold hero six years ago!
Next, Miss Lu's tone was cold, "The ancestors of the family are dedicated to serving the country, and the Tianxiong army is a strong army of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen for nine years, and Houjin Azige entered the Kou from Xifengkou, plundered Gyeonggi, and when retreating, the heavy makeup of the plundered Han women was displayed on the car, and the book 'All officials along the way are exempted!'" And the Ming officials and soldiers in the place they passed really didn't dare to go out of the city to meet the attack, but just stood on the city tower and watched...... Looking at the Chinese woman in the car with heavy makeup and crying, not to mention the beast soldiers acting in public! ”
Chongzhen's face turned pale, and that time was a great shame.
Even if he didn't experience it personally, he inherited Zhu Youzhen's memory, and he didn't want to look back on it.
"The faint monarch couldn't hold it on his face, so he transferred his ancestor to serve as the governor of Xuanda, led the division into Gyeonggi, strictly enforced military discipline, drilled soldiers and horses, and the Houjin army did not dare to attack."
Chongzhen nodded, this is also a fact, Lu Xiangsheng is strict in governing the army, and he is brave and good at fighting, and he has indeed restrained a lot in Houjin.
However, the faint monarch couldn't tell the difference between good and bad, and in the face of the invasion of the Houjin Sanlu army, he was indecided, and he didn't know whether to fight or peace. Yang Sichang, the first assistant, and Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, figured out that the faint king did not dare to fight and wanted to negotiate peace......"
As a result, Yang Sichang relied on his military power, constrained everything, cut off the food and salary of his ancestors, and repeatedly transferred the new army of the Lu Army, so that the ancestors who were known as the "Governor's World Reinforcements" were only 5,000 old and weak soldiers. On December 11 of that year, the troops were moved to Julu Jiazhuang, and they had been out of food for seven days, relying on the people's voluntary donation of grain mixed with ice and snow for food, but no one rebelled. ”
"The eunuch Gao Qiqian commanded tens of thousands of troops in Jize, less than fifty miles away from Jiazhuang, and the ancestor sent Yang Tinglin to ask for help, but Gao Qiqian ignored it. The governor of the family ancestor was inevitably crying in the army, vowing to fight to the death with the Qing army. With the village out, the Qing army was decisive at the Artemisia Water Bridge. …… Ride the three turns of tens of thousands of rings. The ancestors of the family fought quickly, and the cries moved the sky, and the artillery was exhausted. Fighting hard, the rear riders are all advancing, killing dozens of people with their hands, and the four arrows and three blades in the body, and the servants. ”
"Afterwards, Yang Sichang vainly said that the ancestor of the family had surrendered to the enemy, and the faint monarch actually believed it and wanted to cure the crime of the ancestor,"
"Fortunately, there are many loyal and righteous people in the ranks, and they do not want to be in the same league as traitors. Yang Lukai, who was in charge of herding, was afraid of the corpse of the crowd, and lay on it, carrying twenty-four arrows to death. ”
The girl's voice became colder and colder, and her resentment was overflowing before, her beautiful appearance was a little hideous, her willow eyebrows were upside down, her apricot eyes were round, and there seemed to be countless resentment surrounding her body.
After the war, Yang Tinglin and his subordinates found the remains of their ancestors on the battlefield, and they were still wearing sackcloth and white nets under their armor. When the people of the three counties heard this, they wept bitterly, and the sound shook the world. ”
Yang Sichang, a scholar, insisted on framing his ancestors for escaping, and sent three people, including Yu Zhenlong, a soldier, to check. Yu Zhenlong was not afraid of obscenity, and insisted on identifying the remains of his ancestors, "Hei Chang was angry, whipped for three days and nights, and died, and opened his eyes and said: 'Heavenly gods are loyal ministers in vain.'" Yang Guodong, the general manager of Qian, was sentenced to death because he refused to obey Yang Thief's wishes to revise the Tang newspaper and insisted that his ancestor had died in battle.
"For the sake of these fictitious pen and ink lawsuits, the ancestors of the family are not allowed to be buried in March...... I had no choice but to cremate the body. ”
"This," Emperor Chongzhen asked in a muffled voice, "Didn't you say that after three months, Lord Lu's face will come to life?" ”
"Humph!" The girl scoffed, "How is that possible? That's just a story made up by the people and soldiers because of the righteousness of their ancestors...... Although they are illiterate, they are also loyal and filial. is not like the faint monarch and traitorous ministers in the court, who boast of reading poetry and books, and do things that are not as good as pigs and dogs! Traitors hold the court high, spend all day drinking, loyal and righteous, but they can't die well......"
"This, this" Lu Zhishen shouted in his heart that he was wronged, and said in his heart that this is the dead ghost Zhu Youjian who can't tell the good from the bad, but now that he has become a big tomorrow, he is inexplicably not as good as a pig and a dog?
Lu Zhishen was scolded a lot in his previous life, but he was slandered by traitors because of injustice, and he didn't take it seriously, and the more fierce he scolded, the happier he was.
Unlike today, the words in the other party's mouth are like knives that pierce people's hearts, but they can't refute it.
"At that time, I was only ten years old, and I made a vow that I must let my ancestor overlook the palace on this coal mountain, and see how the faint king killed himself! Look at how this Ming dynasty changes hands! I don't know if at that time, did the faint monarch ever think of the ancestor who died with four arrows and three blades in his body, Yang Lukai who carried twenty-four arrows, Yang Guodong, Yu Zhenlong, and five thousand old and weak remnants under the command of the ancestor! ”
After speaking, it turned out to be full of tears.
She endured it, even closing her eyes, but the tears still rolled down uncontrollably.
Suddenly, her eyes widened, her eyes were like a mad tiger, and she was full of anger, "How can this Ming Dynasty not die, how can there be heavenly principles!" ”
Lu Zhishen carried the pot for a long time, and he was depressed enough, and he was even more angry at Zhu Youzhen's stupidity before, even if he beheaded Yang Sichang?
Will he be able to come back to life?
Can Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong, Cao Bianjiao, and Sun Chuanting still survive?
If there are still one or two of these fierce people, let them take the team to the Beijing Division, and Li Chuang, who is still afraid of a bird?
To put it bluntly, you can't live by doing your own evil!
The more Lu Zhishen thought about it, the more angry he became, but there was nowhere to get this anger.
yelled three times: "Angry family!" ”
"Angry family!"
"Angry family!"
The sound is like a yellow bell and a big Lu, startling the birds all over the mountain.
Miss Lu was startled, "You should be lighter, don't attract soldiers!" ”
"Soldiers?" Lu Zhishen sneered, and couldn't help but think of Qiu Ba, who he met the day before yesterday when he was beating a dog, banging on a gong and shouting "Master patrols east".
"Hmph, if they dare to come out, I'm afraid that Da Ming won't end up like this......"
So he said to Miss Lu in a sullen voice, "You go away, digging a pit is hard work, and a man will do it." ”
At that moment, a convenient shovel was raised, and in the originally shallow pit, a few shovels went down, and the pit was three feet square and six feet deep.
This scale is more than enough to bury an urn, even burying people alive.
Miss Lu also had this idea in her heart, and her incomprehension and even fear of the person in front of her had more layers.
At the moment, I just want to play and leave him quickly, otherwise if this person commits murder, even if he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, he is afraid that he will not be able to protect himself
"In this way, thank you to the strong man, the ancestors will be strong all their lives, but they can still be favored at this time. The little woman thanked the strong man again," said Ren Wanfu.
"Please let the old hero be buried in peace!" Lu Zhishen said
Miss Lu carefully took out a celadon urn from the green cloth package on the side, and wiped it carefully with the furoshiki before putting it in the pit.
"The matter of filling in the earth, but it is not troublesome. If the strong man has nothing to do, please go back! ”
The emperor did not speak, but just stuffed his head with three or five shovels to fill the pit.
"Dare to ask the little lady's name?"
"When we meet, we don't have to...... But this strong man, if you are willing to leave your name, the little woman will also pray for the good health of your family when she gives incense to her ancestors in the future......"
"Meet...... You and I will say goodbye, if there is fate, we will see each other in the future. ”
"You're a good man. The little woman still has some sacrifices, so she will not be far away. "It's another blessing.
Emperor Chongzhen didn't speak, left silently, and walked towards the old crooked neck tree.
"Wait ...... slow," the girl added.
I saw her running quickly, but because she was in a hurry, she suddenly tripped under her feet and rushed straight forward.
Unexpectedly, the girl was unstable, and rushed forward again, and the whole person threw herself into the arms of the Son of Heaven.
In an instant, the Sanskrit sound in the Son of Heaven's mind was everywhere, and there were countless flying clouds pouring rain from the sky!
Panic, like entering Elysium.
A pure heart, suddenly a little moved.
This is not to blame him, if it is still the body in the previous life, it is okay to have ten more sign girls.
The sentence before the death, "Suddenly open the golden rope, and tear the jade lock there", refers to the strong and invincible body, and the firm will, for others, this body is a treasure in the world, and it is a good cause that cannot be sought.
But for Lu Zhishen himself, it is the biggest shackle to be able to fight all over the world, Lu Zhishen has always looked at the world from the perspective of a strong man in his last life.
If you feel that there is something unsatisfactory, you can raise the big fist of the sea bowl and hit it, if it is still ineffective, the sixty-four road mad demon battle can solve all problems.
Among the heroes of Liangshan, Luda was born with Buddha nature, and his strong body also gave him the capital to act chivalrous and righteous.
But after all, it hindered his deeper understanding.
It was only after the disastrous victory of Zheng Fangla that he seemed to understand that there was something in this world that could not be undone.
At that time, Lu Zhishen seemed to have a real transformation process into a monk.
If he is allowed to live a few more years, he may be able to get a glimpse of the heavens like his master, Elder Zhiqing.
However, the world makes people, but the tide on the Qiantang River came, and Lu Tihe understood what it was me.
In this nature, it is a great joy to take off, but it is inferior, only to know me, not to be selfless.
has not experienced the five turbid evil worlds, the eight sufferings of life, and the inability to prove the fruit position, so that he has traveled to the world again.
Right now, birth, old age, sickness and death can't affect him for the time being, but ...... The delicate and soft in his arms was undeceiving, Chongzhen only felt that he had never been so nervous in his life, and the whole person was frozen in the moment.
It was still the little lady of the Lu family who was clever, and after standing firmly, she hurriedly took a step back.
"Heavenly ...... It's night, on the road...... Shanghei, I have extra pine torches here, so I'll give you two of them......"
"Multi-...... Thank you," the Son of Heaven stammered and took the torch.
"Oh, oh, thank you, thank you, I ...... The Sprinkle family is going, and there will be a meeting later, and there will be a period ......"
Miss Lu's face was as bright as a peach blossom, but unfortunately no one could see it, or fortunately it was not seen.
……
Lu Zhishen walked half a mile up the mountain with a torch, and suddenly became angry, "It's really embarrassing!" Lose face! ”
He threw the torch to the ground and extinguished the fire, as if he were no longer ashamed.
I wanted to throw it away, but I was a little reluctant, so I just muttered to myself: "It's a thing, it's a pity to throw it away." ”
Slip into your belt.
Without the firelight, his original restlessness was much quieter, and when he hid in the night, he was not afraid of being seen through his thoughts.
But he was upset again: "Duh! How is that! It's really not cool in the chest! Yes, it must be the demon who messes with my Dao heart! ”
The great monk had already been enlightened, but at this moment, the pure bodhicitta was in turmoil, and the nameless fire was rising, and he only felt that all the five were burning, and he couldn't get out of his evil breath, and he was suffocated.
When did the dignified Lu Zhishen suffer such grievances!
couldn't help but open his mouth and scolded: "You bird emperor, you have done so many dirty things, but in the end, all the retribution should be on the head of the Sprinkle family!" ”
"Yes!" His heart suddenly moved, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Well, yes, it's all Zhu Youzhen!" When he was alive, he refused to be the emperor well, so he gave up his good life in heaven to suffer, and even had to eat dog meat himself! ”
"I still refuse to die well, my soul is haunted, which makes the people in the palace panic, and the Sprinkle family has to try their best to avoid Queen Zhou!"
Thinking of this, the old man's face turned red, and the heroic spirit that originally rushed straight to Xiao Han was three feet short for no reason.
The good thing is that I finally figured it out in my heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
After finding the problem, Lu Zhishen roared in a low voice, "The Sprinkle family has overtaken you today!" Otherwise, with your last name! ”
After finishing speaking, he ran away along the mountain road with a Zen stick.
There were gusts of strange wind along the way, and the reckless monk of Liangshan was back again!
……
