Chapter 282: Nirvana Tribulation (Part II)
Whether it's false or false, real or illusory......
At least Mo Wunian can feel basic hunger, or daily fatigue, and this world is real. It's just that this kind of familiar but unfamiliar memories of the past are imposing on him more and more intensely, and he feels more and more that he has more memories in him that do not belong to him, or he remembers who he is looking for, but he can't remember it.
As a result, he can only continue to sink in this "Nirvana Realm".
......
A few days after Li Ji was blackmailed by Mo Wunian and others, in Kyoto, he went up to the Drunken Dream Building, and went down to the ordinary Washe Wine Shop, and what people talked about was not which Yanliu Institute had a peerless Oiran that captivated the country and the city, let alone a national event that was urgent for 800 miles, but that Li Ji was blackmailed by someone......
It is rumored that Li Ji was blackmailed, and even his obscene pants were stripped off, and he ran out naked. There is an element of exaggeration in this, but what makes people pay attention to the matter itself is Mo Wunian -- a sinner who should apologize to the whole country, a waste who has no ability to govern the country! A person like this dares to offend the son of a court-favorite minister and a servant of the Ministry of Rites!
Everyone had heard of Mo Wunian's scoundrel deeds before, but they all regarded it as an insignificant trivial. But this time, the incident he made was more strange than seeing any iron tree bloom!
......
In an ordinary liquor restaurant in Kyoto, the drinkers either swallow a large bowl at a table of three, or hide in a corner and drink alone.
I don't know who spoke first: "Have you heard, three days ago, the son of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was blackmailed! I heard that Li Kun was stripped of his clothes and came out with his bare ass, hahaha!"
Someone took over the conversation: "Hahaha! Then Li Suwan also has today! Okay, very! Usually he is the son of a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, but he has harmed many good girls! Alas, ββ!."
Another said: "I heard that it is...... The two of them are also half a pound and eight taels, the same color, but ......"
Halfway through his words, the man suddenly stopped talking. Not only him, but all the people in the wine shop stopped hustle and bustle, and the excitement of the previous moment turned into a dull and breathless one. It turned out that there was a person standing at the door - Zhang Dacheng!
Three days ago, he was kicked out of the Li Mansion because he was not careful about guarding the son of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, not to mention that he had also lost his way to make a living and make money! Now he is in a mood of mixed feelings, anger, and depression...... He didn't understand how an old Jianghu who had been mixed up for many years could fall into the hands of Mo Wunian, a hairy boy, but he was also very angry, so he wanted to drink a few glasses of wine to relieve the melancholy in his heart.
It's just that now he is no longer Li Jigongzi's personal guard, and he has become strapped for money, and he came to the wine shop in front of him after avoiding the flower building he used to go to.
Because of the people who practice martial arts, his eyesight and ear power are naturally longer than ordinary people, and before he arrived at the wine shop, he had already heard everyone talking about something in the wine shop.
He was already in a very bad mood, and when he heard people talk about this, his face became a little more ruthless! Then, like a mad dog thrown out by his master, his eyes swept fiercely over everyone in the wine shop, and everyone trembled! Naturally, everyone did not dare to say anything!
Seeing that no one spoke, Zhang Dacheng looked at the owner of the liquor store again: "Shopkeeper, give me a pound of soju." βγ
His voice was hoarse, and it was impossible to hear the joy and sorrow.
The shopkeeper was stared at by this sudden mad dog, and it took a long time to react, and he stammered, "Little ...... Xiao Er! Give this master a ...... Put us the most ...... Anyway, bring the best wine!
In a short time, Xiao Er staggered to bring the wine, and carefully placed the wine and wine utensils neatly in front of Zhang Dacheng. For fear of making the master in front of him unhappy! Zhang Dacheng doesn't care about all this, he just takes care of the big bowl and swallows it! This appearance is extremely inconsistent with his usual wooden and cautious attitude. In addition to not daring to breathe, everyone didn't even dare to swallow saliva!
I don't know how long it took for the dull atmosphere to be broken! Everyone only remembered that when Zhang Dacheng drank eighteen bowls of wine in a row, a young scholar in Tsing Yi came to the door.
The young scholar was delicate and slender, and looked weak, as if a gust of wind could blow him down, but there was a majestic righteousness between his eyebrows, and if any traitor looked at him, he would be frightened.
Zhang Dacheng's eyes were drunk and hazy, but his heart was still seven points sober, and he said to the young man: "Young posterity, I am in a bad mood today." Drink and pick a place away from me!".
"I'm a Chu madman, Feng Ge laughs at Kong Qiu!" The scholar in Tsing Yi ignored Zhang Dacheng at all, just read a poem at random, and didn't even look at him.
When Zhang Dacheng heard this, he immediately sobered up for ten minutes, quickly got up, changed his expression, and said to the scholar in a respectful and surprised tone: "Mr. Chu, how could you come to this ordinary ......."
Although Chu was clothed, he was fortunate to have Zhao's pity and gratitude. And I am working for the saint today, why am I not allowed to go?" mentioned the royal family of Zhao State, the scholar in Tsing Yi said very respectfully, but he still couldn't hide his high-spirited frivolity.
"......" Zhang Dacheng wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to answer the words of the scholar in Tsing Yi after all.
The scholar opposite him, named Chu Yao, was a student of Master Yu. And who is Master Yu? That is a person with the same name as the presiding master of the Wolong Temple. Legend has it that when the country was in turmoil, he helped the current royal family Zhao to sit firmly in the country!
Chu Yao is a student that Yu Fuzi values a lot. As Chu Yao said, he was indeed a cloth cloth, and he came to Kyoto to study when he was young, and because he was stubborn and unaccustomed to the powerful, he would rather have his cloth clothes on the streets than be moved by his thousand taels of gold! Because of this young man's spirit, the master accepted him as his student! Now, the master has handed over all the powers of the Heavenly Master's Mansion to him to take care of, which shows the importance he attaches to him!
Such a figure is not much lower than the status of the current crown prince, and Zhang Dacheng once dared to snub him? But he also did not dare to take Chu Yao's words! If he said a wrong word, he was afraid that his head would not be guaranteed! However, Zhang Dacheng did not understand that the Heavenly Master's Mansion had always taken it as his duty to kill demons and evil spirits, ignoring the affairs of the court and government, and it was extremely difficult to see him in ordinary times, so how could Chu Yao have such an interest in coming to such an ordinary wine shop? Perhaps it was just a coincidence.
Chu Yao didn't care what Zhang Dacheng was thinking, and changed his scholarly style, but sat opposite Zhang Dacheng with a golden knife, took a sip of wine on the table and said to himself: "This wine is not mellow in the mouth, and it is not fragrant in the lower stomach, so it is also a good wine?"
"Mr. Chu smiled, I'll call it ......" Zhang Dacheng was really wooden this time, and he suddenly remembered that this was already the best wine in this wine shop.
"Don't bother. What is this wine to you...... It's just a couple of things I'd like to ask you. Chu Yao said, all the arrogant expressions that had been a little condescending before were retracted, but he continued with a serious face: "I have heard that when you were young, you were the leader of bandits in a certain place?"
Zhang Dacheng nodded undeniably.
After hearing this, Chu Yao's expression became more and more serious, and then he said: "Zhang Dacheng, originally from Wuxian County, Maruzhou, lost his hair at the age of 15 due to famine, and successively robbed his fellow villagers of their property five times with the same gang of thieves! At the age of 23, he trained himself to kill the old bandit leader who gave you great favor, and occupied another mountain, and established himself as the king! At the age of 35, he had 800 bandits under his command and risked the world's disapproval to rob the military assets sent to the imperial court to the front line! At the age of 37, he was .......
Like an endorsement, Chu Yao stubbornly recited Zhang Dacheng's life deeds. The listener didn't notice anything, but the person concerned, Zhang Da, was like being splashed with a basin of cold water, and he was full of excitement! The last trace of woodenness on his face, or the calmness could no longer be hung up! Chu Yao's words could convict him of any of them, and a few of them were not enough to punish him dozens of times!
"Chu ...... I've been washing my hands for years, sir
......" Zhang Dacheng was a little short of breath, and when he lived to this age, he didn't want to take any more risks to fight for anything, not to mention greedy for pleasure, even if it was plain and bland! And he had also heard a little about the affairs of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and he could kill demons and evil people, not to mention the power of nine cows and two tigers, but he also had the mystery of turning decay into magic! Although he was an old man who had mixed up in the rivers and lakes! It could be said that he was an ordinary person! He did not have the identity of Chu Yao, nor did he have the ability to turn his eyebrows and ghosts!
Thinking of this, Zhang Dacheng's spirit has been scared away by three points!
But just when he thought that the person opposite was going to do something, Chu Yao changed his words, and his attitude softened and said, "I won't mention the past." I'll only ask you one thing - how can you say that you are also an old Jianghu who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, how could you lose to Mo Wunian? Tell me what happened at that time, and it is better to tell me in detail. βγ
Seeing that the other party's attitude had eased, Zhang Dacheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but thinking of the other party's capriciousness, and what he asked, it also made his second monk puzzled! He was a little unsure of what the other party was thinking, so he had to tell Chu Yao in detail how Mo Wunian defeated him that day and how Li Ji was blackmailed.
After hearing this, Chu Yao frowned, as if she had thought of something, and picked up the wine on the table again and said to Zhang Dacheng: "I said it...... This wine ...... For you, it's a good wine. βγ
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Dayan figured out what to do, and his eyes were as big as a copper bell! He felt that this Chu Yao in front of him should obviously be a weak scholar with a bookish spirit, but it was like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed, and it was about to be exposed, leaving no grass in its reach!
"Mr. Chu, can you let me ...... But then Zhang Dacheng was also relieved, thinking that he had added blood to his life and won a few years of glory and wealth, he should be content!
"You...... I don't need to know! I don't deserve to know! I have to do ...... Forget it!" Chu Yao stopped talking and drank the wine in his hand.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Da seemed to be drunk and climbed on the table as if he was drunk.
Chu Yao, as he did when he came, left indifferently in green clothes.
......
That night, when Xiao Er, the owner of this wine shop, was about to clean up and close, he found that a drinker was still crawling on the table and sleeping soundly, and kindly reminded him to push him, but he fell directly to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. The shopkeeper was a little angry, thinking that he was a drunkard who deliberately relied on alcohol money!
But when he saw that this person was actually Zhang Dacheng, the leader of the bandits, the anger in his heart dissipated, and he changed his words: "Master, the little one is abrupt, and he didn't see ...... clearly."
As he spoke, Xiao Er put his hand on Zhang Dacheng's body, but this ride, which was cold in his hand, scared him into a six-god master, staggered backwards and sat on the ground, and shouted with his throat open: "Kill someone! Kill someone! Kill someone!"
Xiao Er didn't pay attention to it, there was a word "Chu" on the table where Zhang Dacheng was climbing!
After Chu Yao got out of the wine shop, he walked straight to the mansion of Li Yuan, the court's favorite minister, Li Yuan.
As one of the important ministers of the court, the place where the Li Mansion is located is naturally a prosperous and well-connected area. People who can live in this area are inevitably made of glazed tiles and other things. Rao is like this, Li Mansion is in a group of red bricks and blue tiles, and it is also a standing outstanding, and its scale can be compared with few mansions.
In such a mansion, passers-by passed by, but few people dared to look at it, just because there were two strong men like iron pillars standing in front of the vermilion gate of the Li Mansion, tall and fierce, like door gods! Passers-by were stared at by them, and they were so frightened that they took a detour.
Chu Yao walked to the door of the Li Mansion, still with a trace of arrogance in his eyes, not caring about these two strong men at all, he simply made a bow and said, "Chu is here to worship." βγ
"Mr. Chu, wait a minute, the little one will go and tell the big housekeeper!"
The two strong men naturally knew the identity of the person in front of them, and they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, one hurriedly and respectfully invited Chu Yao in, and the other hurriedly ran to invite the big butler of the Li Mansion!
In a short time, a middle-aged man with a fat figure and hurried steps rushed over, with a smile on his face, and said in a respectful tone: "I have neglected Mr. Chu, please forgive me!"
Seeing that he was sweating hotly, he knew that after hearing about this, he quickly rushed over. Chu Yao shook his head, indicating that he didn't care, and motioned for him to lead the way.
Seeing this, the chief housekeeper seemed to have a big stone in his heart on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief, lifted his sleeve and wiped the shout on his face, made a gesture of please, and said respectfully: "Please also ask Mr. Chu to come with me." βγ
Chu Yao nodded and followed him in.
The Li Mansion is indeed a bit big, and it takes a long time to arrive at the main hall of the guests, and on the way, there are several small courtyards connected together, the warbler Yanyan is like a small harem, and from time to time there are women's frolicking sounds, which leads people to reverie, but also shows extravagance. I don't know if it was raised by his father Li Yuan or hidden by his son Li Ji......
When he came to the main hall, Chu Yao hadn't entered yet, but he heard the sound of falling things inside, accompanied by a scolding sound that was unusually irritable, and only listened:
"Where's the face? The old man's face has been completely lost by you! What do the rumors say? Naked out...... Now that I'm in court, they're also talking about it, so you're going out with a cheeky face! What about me? You...... I only have a son like you......! I'll kill you......"
It seemed that the more he scolded inside, the more he scolded, Li Yuan became more and more furious, picked up something and threw it on the ground, no matter what famous ancient paintings or rare treasures, just fell to the ground!
Just because all kinds of rumors have been poured into his ears for a few days, how can he endure it? Especially what kind of gentlemanly his son is, he also knows it! He has a very good face, so no matter how his son explains, he can't listen to half a word!
At this moment, Li Yuan remembered those rumors again, and became more and more puzzled, and raised his slap and slammed it into his son Li Ji's face!
Bang Bang Bang!
Four slaps in a row only made Li Ji's ears buzz and dizzy, and he bared his teeth for a while! He opened his mouth slightly as if he wanted to explain something, but he didn't dare to say anything to his father's fiery gaze, so he only lowered his head!
Seeing that Li Ji was about to be slapped again, he suddenly stretched out a hand to block Li Yuan's hand for him! It was a slender and white palm, but a little wider than a woman's! Looking at it, it was a scholar in Tsing Yi, with black hair combed in a neat bun, a cyan hairband wrapped in it, and a pair of bright eyes with a hint of rebelliousness on his delicate face.
At this moment, he was looking at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was blocked by someone, and was about to have a seizure, when he saw that the person who came was Chu Yao, the anger in his heart immediately dissipated, straightened his clothes, and said respectfully: "Let Mr. Chu laugh, what the dog made is really ridiculous!"
"Master Li, Chu has also heard some about Li Gongzi's affairs, so I can't take it seriously! Besides, I went to investigate, and it was just a rumor. Chu Yao said and glanced at Li Ji.
Li Ji was naturally uncomfortable when his own matter was mentioned, but he also knew the identity of the scholar in front of him, how could he dare to attack?
"Alas...... It's okay not to mention this matter!", Li Yuan's heart was angry, and when he heard Chu Yao say this, he put this matter to the bottom of his heart for the time being, "But it's annoying that Mr. Chu is happy for the dog! The old man ordered someone to set up a banquet ......."
"Don't bother, it's just a trivial matter! Chu has a few things he wants to ask Master Chu!" Chu Yao's eyes were like torches.
Li Yuan glanced at Li Ji and motioned for him to go down, and when he looked at Chu Yao's gaze, he knew that they could only talk about it
The two of them only laughed. Li Ji didn't dare to ask more, and quickly walked out of the hall, for him, it was also a relief to come out, and it was really uncomfortable to be reprimanded by his father for a few days, but he was more curious about what his father and Chu Yao were going to talk about......
......
"Master Li, let me ask you, what do you think of the current atmosphere?"
"Mr. Chu, the atmosphere in the DPRK and China is acceptable, and there are few corrupt officials. β
"How are the people living?"
"Your Majesty has worked hard, and it is rare to hear of any starvation happening everywhere!"
"Let me ask again, what is the overall situation of the country since Wuyuan took control of the government?"
Although Wuyuan was squeezed out by most of the ministers of the DPRK and China, there have been few wars since he took power. The country really has a little bit of complexion, and it has some meaning of national peace and security. β
Chu Yao and Li Yuan, you ask me and I answer, and they talk about some national affairs.
It's just that Li Yuan didn't understand why Chu Yao was suddenly so interested in the affairs of the court, he remembered that Master Yu explicitly forbade the people of the Heavenly Master's Mansion not to interfere in the affairs of the government! Suddenly, he thought that Master Yu had been traveling for several years, and Chu Yao was also unsupervised......
Without waiting for Li Yuan's thoughts, Chu Yao continued: "What a country and the people's peace! In Chu's view, it is just to deceive the people in the country, and even more so to deceive the monarch and commit the crime of deceiving the monarch! If I am in power and assist the monarch, the country will immediately change its appearance in the same four years!"
He was in high spirits, as if he had been in power, and he could really do what he said.
Looking at this young man in front of him who didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky, and with a hint of arrogance in his eyes, Li Yuan didn't know whether what he was talking about was really a passion for the country or a conspiracy to hide people's ears! After all, three years ago, he was involved in the exclusion of people from afar!
And what can he refute about what Chu Yao said? He is just an ordinary person with some power, how can he compare to the Heavenly Master who can subdue demons and subdue demons, and can gallop freely among thousands of armies with just one person?
"Mr. Chu, having said so much, there must be something to ask me for an old horseman?"
"Haha! Lord Li is also an understanding person! Then I'll tell you directly! Gongzi Li was deceived, doesn't Master Li care about things?" Chu Yao looked at Li Yuan with a wanton smile.
"The dog's matter, there is indeed something he did wrong! Li Yuan said indifferently and didn't care, but it turned out that he did have the idea of seeking justice for his son! I don't know why, hearing Chu Yao say this, he was faintly uneasy, so he rejected the other party with this remark, and even rejected this idea in his heart! After thinking about it carefully, when the other party said this, he almost directly instigated him to talk about it!
When Chu Yao heard this, he was a little displeased: "Lord Li can stand those gossips, can Master Li stand it? I hope Lord Li will think about it!"
After that, he turned around and was about to leave, and was about to walk out of the main hall, when he turned around and said, "And Lord Li, Ling Gongzi's guard named Zhang Dacheng is really not good." I drank a little wine with a weak scholar of mine, and I got drunk to death!"
After speaking, he didn't look back, and really walked out.
Li Yuan understands that this Chu Yao is a little crazy, and if he doesn't like him, he will throw his sleeves and leave, without giving people the slightest room for negotiation, and his words are simply a naked threat!
Can...... If he conforms to Chu Yao's wishes, it will definitely not be a good thing! Not smooth? The current Heavenly Master's Mansion has already changed its taste, will he be allowed Li Yuan?
In an instant, Li Yuan seemed to be dozens of years old, he was originally only in the year of destiny, but now he is like an old man in his old age.
"Perhaps...... Just as Zhou Xiangguo said, this country is no longer the Zhao country in which we are in charge! I, the Li family, ...... It's good to survive......."
Sitting on the Taishi chair in the main hall, Li Yun muttered to himself.
After a long time, he suddenly got up, regained some of his strength, and shouted in a sonorous voice: "Someone! Go and call the son-in-law! The old man has something to explain to him!"
In an afternoon, the people who had been standing outside the house for a long time had never heard Li Yuan's voice, and they couldn't help but be a little drowsy, but they would suddenly hear his voice, and they were so frightened that they all woke up, and they took steps one by one, rushing to call Li Ji.
Besides, Li Ji, after holding back for a few days, he was about to go to find Mei Ji, who was new to him, when he heard his father call him, he immediately lost this interest, and hurriedly ran to the main hall!
When he came to the main hall, he smelled something unusual from his fatherβhis father's seriousness was a little terrible! This seriousness was unprecedented, even more so than his father's anger at him in the past few days!
"Daddy...... Is there something wrong with looking for a child?" his tone was a little inadequate, and he felt weak about his idea of looking for Mei Ji just now! If his father found out, he would definitely scold him for not wanting to make progress!
"Tomorrow I will go to the court to seek justice for you to be bullied!" Li Yun said seriously, but suddenly the words changed, "But when the time comes, you just go through the motions, don't take it seriously!"
"Dad, I don't understand...... I've been bullied! I can go through the motions! I'm a ...... in the courtroom."
"You loser shut up! Don't take my name! You just listen to me this time! On the contrary, don't say that my official position is not guaranteed, and the lives of you and my father and son are not guaranteed!"
Li Ji didn't understand what his father said, obviously he himself said that he wanted to seek justice, why did he just go through the motions? But looking at his father's stern gaze, he didn't dare to say more.
"Anyway, when the time comes, don't embarrass yourself too much, just think about it! Just show the appearance of everyone's son and brother making trouble!" Li Yuan looked at his son Li Ji seriously!
For him, this is the best way he can think of, although he doesn't know what Chu Yao thinks, but it's always good not to get involved. In this way, he sought justice for his son, and also complied with Chu Yao's wishes, killing two birds with one stone, but the party didn't want to investigate the matter deeply. really stayed out of the matter, not being affected by Chu Yao's plan, and he had nothing to do with their father and son!
Li Ji didn't think so, he only felt that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to regain his face and field! He was not an ordinary gentleman, and he knew how to make reasonable use of opportunities!
So, he left all his father's words behind and played his own cleverness.
......
Speaking back to Mo Wunian's side, the group originally teased the son Li Ji, which was a very happy thing, but Mo Wunian thought of all kinds of strange ideas that have frequently popped up in his heart recently, but he was not in the mood to play with everyone at all.
Like the group playing in the suburbs now, Zhou Qingshi unfolded his feet and carried a small river with a little water, picked some wild vegetables from the other side of the river and added them to the iron pot set up, so as to add a bit of umami to the game they made improvised "Pheasant Ranton".
But Mo Wunian didn't have any thoughts on it at all.
Zhou Qing's mind was quick, he saw the sorrow between his eyebrows, and asked him, "Bald, what are you worried about?"
She thought that Mo Wunian had provoked Li Ji and was worried about it...... But if you think about it, he won't be such a person.
And Mo Wunian's next words also made everyone present feel surprised and inexplicable.
He said, "You say...... Who am I, or am I the Mo Wunian of this world, or am I ...... This world is false, and I am a non-minder who belongs to the real world.
Then, he described to everyone the world he knew, there were monks who could move mountains and seas, pick stars and move moons, and even turn the sea into mulberry fields and reverse yin and yang.
