Chapter 52: The sky is very high, but it is not far away
In the Xiliang Palace, the little bald Xing Yunqi followed the steward inside.
Early in the morning, the palace sent someone to pick him up, if it weren't for the fact that he saw someone holding Huo Qiji's token, Huang Tianba would have said that he hadn't seen this little bald head.
When he entered the door, Xing Yunqi looked at the high threshold and took a step higher, and the housekeeper looked at the little bald head who was not wearing a monk's robe, and shook his head with a smile.
This kid's life is very good.
Shangguan Zimo arranged for him to pick him up, and he was also curious, how could there be such a child in this meat seller's family who knew the little county lord of our palace.
It's just curiosity is curiosity, but he can't ask indiscriminately, this is the rule.
But if he didn't understand the identity of this child, he didn't know how to treat this child, so he could only call him "Little Young Master", after all, it was arranged by the county lord, and it was right to call him "Little Young Master".
It's just that when this child heard the title of "little master", he was directly frightened and cried, saying that he would not go with him, crying and making trouble saying that the master had sold him to a rich family who could not give birth to a son.
Huang Tianba laughed a few times on the side and then told the kid, this is the steward of the palace, come to pick you up and go to the palace, and your master will be a guest in the palace.
The steward took the child into the carriage, and wondered in his heart, who was the child's master? Could it be the two eminent monks in the palace? But early in the morning, he heard that the two eminent monks had left the palace.
Forget it, guessing and guessing, it has nothing to do with you, it's better to bring people to the little county lord.
Fortunately, this child is also honest, and after entering the door, he just looked with his eyes, but did not ask any questions, otherwise he would not know how to answer this child.
After entering the palace and following the steward for a long time, Xing Yunqi felt that he didn't need to walk so far even if he walked around the town in his hometown, so he asked timidly: "This, old, master, haven't we arrived at the palace yet?"
The steward's smile looked at the little bald head beside him, and said: "Little master, I'm just a steward of the palace, don't dare to be called the master, we are already in the palace, I will take you to see the county lord now, and after meeting the county lord, you will understand everything." ”
After Xing Yunqi said "oh", he bit his lip and asked in a low voice, "Then, who is the county lord? Is he a big official?"
Maybe it was because he was happy to be called the lord, and the steward smiled and said: "The county lord, it is the youngest daughter of our prince, you know, it is the heaven of our Liangzhou, so how big an official do you say the county lord is?"
Xing Yunqi grabbed his little bald head, but he didn't catch his hair, and he lowered his head and said "um" and stopped talking.
He was also curious, why there were mountains and water in the palace, living in such a big place, how tiring it was to go out, wouldn't going out to a thatched house suffocate people?
It's just that he just thought about these words in his heart.
The inner family lived in the courtyard behind the palace, and after the housekeeper led the little bald head to it, a woman came out, and Xing Yunqi changed people in a daze and followed inside.
This beautiful big sister still held his hand, and made his face flush with shame, and he saw that the big sister smiled.
After walking for another half an hour, the eldest sister finally stopped and said to him with a smile: "Little bald head, you wait here first, and I will go in and report to the county lord." ”
Xing Yunqi pursed his lips and nodded, and the big sister went in with a smile as soon as she touched his bald head.
Xing Yunqi, who was not interesting, squatted on the ground and was in a daze there.
After a while, laughter came, and he looked up and saw a fairy daughter-like sister walking out with the eldest sister from Fang Cai.
The fairy-like big sister smiled and said to him, "Hey, little bald head, you are Brother Huo's little apprentice?"
"Huh?" Xing Yunqi was a little stunned, as if he understood what this sister meant, and he said weakly: "I am my master's little apprentice, are you the youngest daughter of heaven?"
seemed to feel that something was wrong, and he added, "It's our Liangzhou sky." ”
Hearing this, Guan Zimo covered his mouth and smiled, stepped forward and touched the little bald head and asked, "If I am the daughter of heaven, then what do you say I should be?"
There was a delicate and silky feeling on his scalp, and he was a little shy, so he gently ducked his head back and whispered: "Hmm~, then you should be a fairy." ”
Shangguan Zimo smiled: "Yo, you little bald head, your mouth is very sweet." ”
Mei Lan, the personal maid of Shangguan Zimo next to her, said with a smile: "Little bald head, this is the county lord of our palace." I don't want to come and see you. ”
When Xing Yunqi heard this, he remembered that the old man in charge in front of him had told him that he had forgotten about it, so he hurriedly knelt down to make a big salute, and said: "Little, villain, Xing, Xing Yunqi, meet the county lord." ”
It's just that his legs were just about to bend, and he was grabbed by the arm of the county lord in front of him, who was a little smaller than the sky in Liangzhou.
I didn't expect this fairy sister to have such a great strength, and she was picked up by herself as soon as she carried it like this.
When Shangguan Zimo heard the title of the eldest master, he was amused in his heart, pretended to be angry on his face, and said in an evil voice: "You say that I am the eldest master?
Xing Yunqi looked at this face, sneered, laughed out loud, and quickly held back again, standing there shaking.
Shangguan Zimo looked at it, glared at Xing Yunqi and said, "It's not fun at all, little bald, don't laugh, if you laugh again, I'll sell you." ”
Who knew that after she finished speaking, the little bald head actually pouted and cried, sobbing softly with teary eyes, and muttering there: "Big liars, they are all big liars, they still sold me, woo woo, master, I want master, return my master." ”
Shangguan Zimo shook his head, this little bald head, why is he crying, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Little bald head, I teased you just now, let's go to Brother Huo now, okay? You can see him in a while." ”
Xing Yunqi wiped his eyes, looked at Shangguan Zimo and said, "What you said is true? ”
Shangguan Zimo's face was dark, can't you get rid of the title of this big man, she rubbed Xing Yunqi's head and said: "It's good if you call me Sister Momo, what I said is true, now I will take you to your master." ”
Xing Yunqi nodded and said in a low voice: "Okay, Sister Momo, that, my name is Xing Yunqi, don't always call me a little bald, okay?"
Shangguan Zimo touched his bald head and said, "Okay, Xiaoguang~~ Yunqi." ”
After speaking, he took Xing Yunqi's hand and went to the front yard.
Huo Qiji meditated after taking the medicine at night, and when the rooster crowed, he got up and played a set of boxing techniques to move his muscles and bones.
Sora's punch was strong and powerful, if it weren't for the fact that he was in a hurry to use the internal force on his back in the end, his shoulders moved slightly, and he unloaded part of the force, I was afraid that he would lie down for half a month.
Fortunately, the position is not correct, and the five organs are not seriously injured.
The medicines in the palace are all precious holy medicines, and the bowl of medicine in the evening plus his luck and pranayama makes him feel that this injury has been healed by more than half, and in this way, it can be healed in almost three days.
Yesterday, before putting down the wine jar and going to rest, he took out his jade card and handed it to Shangguan Zimo, telling her that he had a little disciple at Huang Tianba's, and asked her to send someone to pick it up early in the morning.
Shangguan Zimo held the warm jade plate and smiled sweetly.
In the morning, Song Bo, the chief housekeeper of the palace, personally came to invite him to have breakfast with King Xiliang, and on the way, he remembered his little disciple, so he asked Song Bo.
Song Bo told Huo Qiji that the county lord would send someone to pick him up early in the morning, and he must have arrived at the mansion at this time.
When he arrived at the hall where King Xiliang was eating, King Xiliang laughed and said: "The virtuous nephew is really massive, and this king was not strong enough to drink yesterday, but it made the virtuous nephew smile." ”
Huo Qiji sat in the guest seat, Song Bo took the tea bowl from the hand of the maid on the side, put it on the table in front of Huo Qiji, and retreated to the side of King Xiliang to wait.
Huo Qi smiled and said: "I took advantage of the practice of martial arts, but it was the king, who was really like the rivers and seas, and I admired it." ”
King Xiliang waved his hand and said: "I'm getting old, it's not like back then, now I drink too much and just want to sleep, don't say much, if it's five or six years in the morning, the old man can toss for another half the night." ”
Huo Qiji didn't dare to talk when he heard this, so he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.
He has been alone for many years, and this kind of meat talk really can't cope with it.
Seeing this, King Xiliang laughed twice and said, "The virtuous nephew is very good-looking, hahaha, hahaha!"
After speaking, he asked to the side, "Old Song, how is the meal prepared?"
Lao Song replied: "Back to the king, everything is ready." ”
King Xiliang smiled and said to Huo Qiji: "Virtuous nephew, let's go, let's go for breakfast!"
Huo Qiji was thinking about his little disciple, and when he saw that he hadn't come over with Shangguan Zimo, he said, "Your Majesty, why don't you see the princess and the little princess?"
Lao Song, the housekeeper on the side, replied: "Young Master Huo, the princess and the county lord usually eat in the backyard, but the county lord has already spread the word that he wants to accompany the prince to dine together." ”
Huo Qiji said: "Your Majesty, why don't you just wait for the county lord?"
King Xiliang looked at Huo Qiji and nodded with a smile.
After taking a sip of tea, King Xiliang suddenly asked, "Virtuous nephew, I remember that when you came to my palace, you were just weak!"
Huo Qiji felt that the eyes of King Xiliang looking at him were a little strange, and he smiled slightly and said, "It's three more Chinese New Year's Eve today." ”
King Xiliang stroked his beard, nodded, and then asked, "All these years, the virtuous nephew has been alone?"
Huo Qiji suddenly felt a little nervous, he took another sip of tea and said, "There is also Yuan Xi with me." ”
King Xiliang said "oh~" and said: "No wonder Fang Caixian nephew is so showy, it turns out that he is practicing Tongzi Gong, but I remember that Xuanyi's martial arts don't need to be so solid Peiyuan." Ling Zun is known as the number one master in the world, aren't you so big now?"
Huo Qiji was stunned, how could this King of Xiliang like to talk about this kind of topic.
Just when he didn't know what to say, Shangguan Zimo walked in with the little bald Xing Yunqi.
"Master, Master!"
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the master drinking tea there, Xing Yunqi let go of the eldest sister's soft hand, ran over, and threw himself on Huo Qiji's leg.
Huo Qiji rubbed his little bald head and said, "You kid, you haven't seen you like this for a day, where do you look like a man?"
Xing Yunqi pouted and said, "I'm afraid!"
Huo Qiji patted Xing Yunqi's back and asked softly, "What are you afraid of?"
Raising his little bald head, Xing Yunqi pouted and said, "I'm afraid of everything, I'm most afraid of one person." ”
Looking at the disciple with a little red eyes, Huo Qiji asked, "This is crying?"
Shangguan Zimo, who had already walked in, said with a smile: "I've seen Brother Huo! How is Brother Huo's injury?
Seeing this, King Xiliang smiled and said nothing, this girl didn't have a father in her eyes when she came in.
Huo Qiji said with a smile: "Thanks to the medicine in the palace, the injury is now fine, and it can be healed in a few days." ”
Shangguan Zimo looked at the little bald head lying on Huo Qiji's lap, and said with a smile: "You little disciple, where did you find the baby? ”
Xing Yunqi, who had stopped crying, touched his bald head, looked at the fairy sister and said, "Thank you fairy sister for bringing me to the master, I misunderstood my sister before, it was me who was wrong." ”
Shangguan Zimo smiled and said, "Okay, okay, my sister didn't blame you." ”
Turning his head, Shangguan Zimo, who was in a good mood, called "Daddy" sweetly.
King Xiliang quipped: "Yo, my precious daughter, Daddy, I thought you didn't see me!"
"Daddy~"
Shangguan Zimo stood beside King Xiliang, his body was crooked, and he sat on the armrest of the chair leaning on King Xiliang.
At this time, Huo Qiji pulled Xing Yunqi and said, "This is the king of Xiliang sitting above, hurry up and salute the king." ”
Xing Yunqi remembered what the steward said, so he took two steps forward and knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Villain Xing Yunqi, I have seen the king of Xiliangtian. ”
When King Xiliang heard this, he laughed, patted the armrest with his right hand and said, "Get up quickly!"
After speaking, he looked at Huo Qiji and asked, "Where did the virtuous nephew receive such an interesting disciple?"
Huo Qiji replied with a slight smile: "A few days ago, I went to Shikong Gate and saw Xing Yunqi, who was a miscellaneous little monk in Shikong Gate, and when I went down the mountain, I took him with me and accepted him as a disciple. ”
Shangguan Zimo said with a smile: "No wonder it's a little bald head, it's his blessing to be able to worship Big Brother Huo as a teacher." ”
Xing Yunqi, who had already gotten up, stood beside the master obediently, bowing his head and not speaking.
Huo Qiji said to King Xiliang: "I complain about me, as his teacher, he didn't teach him etiquette, and he made a joke just what he said, this child is a poor man, and his family was unfortunately sent to Shikong Gate to become a monk, but in order to survive, in his eyes, the biggest person he has seen is only afraid that in addition to the host of Shikong Gate is the patriarch of the village, a person like Wang Ye, where does he know what a high power is." ”
Xing Yunqi stepped on the tip of his left foot with his right foot on the side, and his head was lowered.
I felt a big hand holding my arm, and a gentle voice came from next to me: "Don't be afraid, the prince is fierce, but he is a very good person." ”
King Xiliang coughed lightly and said, "The old man has to pick on the words of the virtuous nephew, the old lady is so fake, but where is she fierce?"
On the side, Shangguan Zimo put his elbow against King Xiliang's shoulder, shook it lightly and said, "Daddy, you have a full face and beard, why aren't you fierce?"
King Xiliang stroked his thick beard and laughed: "You girl, your elbow turned out, it seems that the woman is not left~"
Shangguan Zimo's small fist knocked on the back of King Xiliang, his face was a little hot, and he secretly aimed at Huo Qiji.
It's just that Huo Qiji didn't look at her, coaxing the little bald head there.
Old Song, the housekeeper on the side, said with a smile: "Lord, let's have breakfast." ”
King Xiliang got up with a laugh, pulled the little daughter beside him and said, "Let's go, go to dinner with Daddy!"
Shangguan Zimo looked at Huo Qiji and said, "Brother Huo, and Xiaoyunqi, let's go, go for breakfast." ”
The group set off for breakfast.
Xing Yunqi didn't expect that he could use such a big table, such a big plate, such a large piece of meat, and delicious milk tea for breakfast, as well as all kinds of delicious foods that he had never eaten, that he couldn't name.
He didn't dare to move his chopsticks earlier, but after the bearded but kind-faced old king said a word, he took a big bite to eat.
King Xiliang smiled and said to him, "The king of God has ordered you to eat in a big gulp." ”
Although he is small, he is not stupid, and this command makes him feel at ease and eat with peace of mind.
Huo Qiji slowly drank milk tea, salty and fragrant, mixed with fine fried rice and chopped air-dried beef.
Gently putting down the tea bowl, Huo Qiji said: "This breakfast is very distinctive, not like our Central Plains food. ”
Shangguan Zimo smiled lightly and said: "Brother Huo, this is a delicacy from Tubo, it is very distinctive, I specially asked Uncle Song to arrange it last night." ”
Huo Qiji nodded with a smile, looked at Shangguan Zimo and said, "Miss Momo has a heart." ”
King Xiliang coughed, and Xing Yunqi, who was drinking milk tea in a big gulp, jumped in his heart, held the bowl, and quietly raised his head from behind the bowl.
Huo Qiji gently patted the disciple beside him and said, "God thundered, it's okay, eat more if you want to." ”
Xing Yunqi said "um" and buried his head in the bowl again.
The minced meat in this milk tea is really fragrant, and the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes.
King Xiliang looked at the little bald head who was startled by him with a smile, speaking of which, at his age, he should have hugged his grandson a long time ago, but unfortunately I don't know if there is a problem with the eldest son's seeds, or the second son's land is not good, both of them have been married for several years, but there is no movement.
and that Xiao Yuanxi, his tigress can mention it to himself several times.
Looking at Huo Qiji, he put down the bowl in his hand and asked, "Virtuous nephew, what should I do next?"
Huo Qiji lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty, who is stationed in Shikun City?"
Shangguan Zimo on the side interjected: "It's my second brother!"
Huo Qiji glanced at Shangguan Zimo, nodded slightly, and then looked at King Xiliang and said: "Your Majesty, now that the matter is over, I think you should immediately send someone to Shikun City, there is no movement this night, I am afraid that the two high-ranking monks of the Liberation Gate have already rushed back overnight, and now like this, we should strike first." ”
Shangguan Zimo on the side asked anxiously: "Daddy, will there be danger there for the second brother?"
King Xiliang frowned and said: "The second child has always been calm, besides, those two bald donkeys have been in our palace these days, I have sent someone to inform him, be careful of those bald donkeys in Shikong Temple." ”
Xing Yunqi, who was eating, put down the bowl, a little unhappy, and sat there with his lips pouted and did not speak.
King Xiliang happened to see it, so he asked, "Little baby, are you full?"
Xing Yunqi plucked up his courage and said: "You are the king of God, you can't scold people, you can't scold people." ”
King Xiliang was stunned for a moment, then understood what was going on, didn't care, and asked with a smile: "Why can't God scold people?"
Xing Yunqi bit his lip and said: "Because in the eyes of Xiao Bald, oh no, it is Xiao Yunqi, the king of God is a good person, and the masters of Shikong Temple are also good people, and good people can't scold good people." ”
King Xiliang became interested and continued to ask, "You said they were good people, but they injured your master!"
Xing Yunqi looked at the master, who was no different, and asked in a low voice, "Master, are you really injured?"
Huo Qiji smiled and said: "It's okay, have you ever seen people in Zhuangli fighting? Some people fight, but they have different ideas, and they want to use their strength to fight for who is right and who is wrong, as long as they are not bullying, then they can be reasonable." As for the real right and wrong, many times, it is the fist that has the final say. ”
Xing Yunqi grabbed the little bald head and said, "Master, you started saying things I didn't understand again, but Xiao Yunqi felt that before the master accepted me as a disciple, the masters were very good to me." ”
Huo Qiji smiled and said softly to his little disciple: "It's okay for you to remember the good in your heart, if a person has always been good to you, but he is a heinous villain in the eyes of others, and you don't think it's right for him to do those things, then will you hate him?"
Xing Yunqi raised his head and stared at it with big eyes and thought for a long time, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, I can't think of it, but I shouldn't accept the bad guy." ”
Huo Qiji looked at Xing Yunqi with a confused face and said: "Eat, Master just asks casually, you can think if you want to think about it, and forget it if you don't want to think about it, maybe you won't encounter this kind of problem in your life." ”
King Xiliang shook his head, looked at Huo Qiji and said, "Looking at you like this, you are very similar to Ling Zun. ”
Huo Qiji smiled, shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Since there is no obstacle over there in Shikun City, I will go to the Liberation Gate again, but I still need some support from the king, after all, I don't have the ability to be the enemy of the entire Liberation Gate." ”
King Xiliang frowned and asked, "Do you want to?"
Huo Qiji nodded, looked up at King Xiliang and asked, "Didn't the king think about encircling and releasing the empty mountain?"
King Xiliang looked at Xing Yunqi, who was eating again, stroked his beard and said: "Yesterday you said that you hurt those two people, and this king was angry a lot, but I still want to take a bad breath with my own hands, arrest those two monks, copy a hundred Buddhist scriptures, and help them promote Buddhism." ”
Huo Qiji smiled and asked, "Really?"
King Xiliang laughed a few times, looked at Huo Qiji and said: "The virtuous nephew is underestimating this king, this kind of bearing is still there in this king, but he is vainly trying to control the general trend of the world, it is really a big taboo, can the virtuous nephew be sure?"
Huo Qiji said: "Your Majesty, what he asked for in the empty door, I promised to give it to him, as for how many people are willing to chant and chant Buddha, it depends on their ability, but the matter of the warrior monk, I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort." ”
Shangguan Zimo asked with concern: "Brother Huo, your injuries have not healed yet, and if you go to the Liberation Gate again, wouldn't you put yourself in danger, so how can you?"
King Xiliang looked at his little daughter and asked aloud: "Momo, why don't you go with your big brother Huo." ”
"Me?"
"She?"
Two voices came out at the same time.
King Xiliang smiled and said: "What's the matter, you two are unwilling, virtuous nephew, you listen to me, this Momo will go to Shikun City with you, take you to see her second brother Ziming, and I will send a team of men and horses to go with you in case something happens on the road." As for how to arrange it in the future, it's all up to you to arrange, I'll write a letter in my hand, and I'll order Ziming to fully cooperate with you, how about it?"
Shangguan Zimo's face was a little red, but when he heard that his father was going to send a team of people to follow, he put away his careful thoughts and said, "Brother Huo, let me go, it just so happens that I haven't seen my second brother for a long time." ”
Huo Qiji thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, there is Miss Lao Momo." ”
Shangguan Zimo felt that his father was not old and dizzy, and asked with a smile: "Daddy, who else is going with us?"
At this time, someone came to report that the commander of Gongsun was coming.
When King Xiliang heard this, he said with a smile: "It's him!"
