Chapter 90: Hunger and Cold Encounter with the Dead
Yang Luochen was shocked, he didn't expect that Daliang's side was over, and the gale was chaotic again, and he also transferred the Qilin Army to resist the gale and take advantage of the civil strife to invade the border of Yunguo.
Suddenly, a name appeared in Yang Luochen's mind, "Young Master Kun Yao", Yang Luochen thought, "Why did I think of this name? If my father hadn't had an accident, that person followed Poria to Gale and probably wouldn't have happened now."
Things can't go back, although Yang Luochen feels a little guilty inexplicably in his heart, but he is also powerless, after all, it is a family affair of other people, Yang Luochen can't meddle in it even if he has the ability, Ouyang Jin also knows this, so he has always been on guard, and did not send someone to help quell the civil strife.
There was a long queue, and in the evening, Yang Luochen and Yuan Yuan entered the Beast Control Pass, which was no less prosperous than Yunjing, there were all kinds of people here, and there were all kinds of strange things.
Because it is the only town that trades with the wind, the customs and customs here are between the cloud country and the wind, and many things do not even have Yunjing, and there is only the beast control pass.
Yang Luochen took Xiao Yuan Yuan to walk around the street, this beast control pass is still prosperous, but in some people's faces, they see sorrow, thinking that it is a windy person who cannot return to China, thinking about the safety of the family.
Yang Luochen went to the secret post of the Falling Star Pavilion before, but the building was empty, and the whereabouts of the Falling Star Pavilion could no longer be found, and it had become someone else's courtyard.
Xiao Yuan Yuan didn't know who Yang Luochen was looking for or what he was doing, but he followed him all the time without complaint. Seeing that the sky was dark and the sky was full of stars, Yang Luochen was realizing a problem, he had no money on him.
There was a lot of money in Poria's bracelet, but Yang Luochen couldn't take it out at all. Xiao Yuan Yuan's stomach growled, Yang Luochen was embarrassed for a while, touched her head and said, "Let's go, the master will take you to eat delicious"
As soon as Xiao Yuan Yuan heard about eating, he immediately came to his senses, and followed Yang Luochen towards the City Lord's Mansion, Yang Luochen had already heard that the commander of the Qilin Army was Bai Zijing, and decided to go to Bai Zijing to get some food, and let him do him a favor by the way.
The two came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Yang Luochen was about to knock on the door, Xiao Yuan Yuan hurriedly grabbed it, and said carefully: "Master, this is the City Lord's Mansion, we will be scolded"
Yang Luochen didn't believe it, he stepped forward and knocked on the door, and it took a long time for a servant to open a crack and ask dissatisfiedly: "Who? I don't know if this is the City Lord's Mansion? Who are you looking for?"
Yang Luochen said: "We are looking for the city lord"
The man said mockingly: "Don't pee and take care of yourself, the city lord is also looking for you pariahs, get out, disturb Lao Tzu's sleep"
After speaking, as soon as the door was closed, Yang Luochen was stunned, and Xiao Yuan Yuan said: "Master, I said that I would be scolded, let's go."
Yang Luochen shook his head, with a wry smile on his face, left here, walked on the street, smelling the fragrance, and the stomachs of the two people were rumbling again, very miserable.
"Master, I'm so hungry"
Yang Luochen heard Yuan Yuan shouting that he was hungry, and he was hungry, but he had no money on him, so it was impossible to rob and steal it, as the saying goes, a penny is hard for a hero, Yang Luochen realized it today.
Yang Luochen decided to go to the gate to find Bai Zijing, but when he walked to another city gate, he told him that no one could go out, let alone find Bai Zijing, and even Yang Luochen, a member of the Qilin Army above the city gate, didn't see who it was.
The two had no choice but to go back to the street for a walk, and finally had no strength and could only sit on the side of the road, very depressed. Yang Luochen took out the bracelet and looked at it, it was very similar to opening it and then taking out a lot of money to sell food, but now he could only look at it.
Xiao Yuan Yuan looked at the bracelet that Yang Luochen took out, which was even exquisite, and asked, "Master, what is this?"
"This is the bracelet of a friend of the master, put it here for me"
"Bracelet, master, your friend is a woman, is this bracelet a token of love?"
Yang Luochen was embarrassed for a while, where did this little girl hear this, and quickly explained: "No, just let me go temporarily, and the master will take you to see her in the future, she is beautiful."
The two were chatting weakly, and suddenly Mu Ye said in Yang Luochen's mind: "Boy, you also have today, let you not cultivate, as early as the foundation building period, when the time comes, you will not be hungry like this."
Yang Luochen could only smile bitterly, how did he know that it would be so miserable, he couldn't do anything for a bite to eat, and now he was hungry, so he could only sit on the street and sigh, listening to his stomach growling. The key is that this kind of downfall was also seen by the little apprentices around him.
The sky is getting darker and darker, it is already full of stars, a majestic wind is blowing, Xiao Yuan Yuan shivered coldly, Yang Luochen can only hold him tightly in his arms when he sees it, his body has been transformed but he is not afraid of the cold, Xiao Yuan Yuan is different.
The two of them sat on the side of the street embracing each other, and if they didn't look closely, they thought they were two beggars, but now there was no one on the street, and no one would come over to give them a little alms.
Unconsciously, the two of them fell asleep, and they didn't know how long they slept, when suddenly a Buddha horn came, and the person woke up in the future, "Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate"
I saw a monk standing in front of the two of them, took out two steamed buns from his arms and put them in their arms, turned around and was about to leave.
Yang Luochen hurriedly shouted: "Master stays"
The monk turned to look at the two of them and said slowly: "Amitabha, it turned out to be Lord Yang, fortunately I will meet it."
Yang Luochen glanced at the monk just now, he was familiar with these, but he couldn't remember who it was, so he could only stop and talk about it later. Now Yang Luochen has seen clearly that this monk is the Mingkong Zen Master of Pranyo Temple, and he is overjoyed in his heart.
Yang Luochen hurriedly got up, saluted and said, "Master, it turned out to be you"
Mingkong looked at the clothes on Yang Luochen's body, and then said: "It turns out that Master Yang is already a disciple of the Baiyun Sect's outer sect, and he will be a Taoist friend in the future."
Yang Luochen smiled awkwardly and said, "Master, I was expelled from the sect by the Baiyun Sect, and I haven't had time to return this clothes yet."
Xiao Yuan Yuan on the side was already nibbling on steamed buns there, completely ignoring what the two were saying. Zen Master Mingkong said slowly: "Master Yang, don't be discouraged, the path of cultivating truth is to go against the sky, and now it is a blessing to return to the world."
"Master, why did you appear in the Beast Control Pass?"
"The poor monk was invited to come and chant for the souls of the dead, but he couldn't move forward when he reached the Beast Control Pass, so he could only stay here."
Yang Luochen asked, "But the master went to the gale, and it was the emperor Tianrui who died in the gale?"
"Amitabha, Lord Yang guessed correctly, the poor monk is going to Gale, but not for His Majesty Gale, but for the people who died in the war"
Yang Luochen was in awe of this Zen master for a while, and really wanted to know who wanted to ask Mingkong to go to the gale to surpass those dead souls, this move really cares about the people, for the country and the people.
When Yang Luochen was still thinking wildly, his stomach began to growl, Yang Luochen was embarrassed for a while, and said: "Let the master laugh, I just came down from the Octogenarian Mountain, and I never had silver taels, and I fell into such a field now."
"Amitabha, Lord Yang understands the righteousness and benefits the people, and the poor monk admires it too late, how can he laugh at the donor. The poor monk is just two steamed buns, and there is nothing else, why doesn't the donor go to the Qilin Army?"
Yang Luochen said with some embarrassment: "I have no long things now, I can't see Bai Zijing at all, where can those soldiers recognize me, they can only be forced to be here."
Zen Master Mingkong said slowly: "Master Yang, please come with me, the poor monk will take you to meet an old man."
Yang Luochen led Yuan Yuan and followed behind Mingkong, Yuan Yuan still kept a steamed bun for Yang Luochen, but Yang Luochen didn't eat it, let her eat, and Xiao Yuan Yuan didn't eat it, just squeezed it tightly in his hand.
Zen Master Mingkong led the two of them to the city gate on the north side of the Beast Control Pass, and shouted to the people on the city wall: "Lord Di Shi, the poor monk brought the old man to see you."
Mingkong shouted very easily, but it resounded throughout the city wall, and soon a person appeared on the city wall, shouting loudly: "Master, you wait for me to go down to pick you up", and disappeared on the city wall after speaking.
Yang Luochen was familiar with the voice, but he couldn't remember who it was, and soon, a person wearing a brocade robe walked down, saluted to Mingkong and said, "Master, are you willing to stay in the house tonight."
Ming Kong didn't answer, but took a step sideways, letting Yang Luochen behind him appear in front of this person. As soon as this person saw Yang Luochen, tears welled up in his eyes, and he quickly knelt down on one knee and said, "Di Yuan has seen the young master."
Yang Luochen didn't expect Di Yuan to be here, so he quickly helped him up and asked, "Why are you here?
Di Yuan said: "After I came back, I originally wanted to follow the old man and them, but His Majesty didn't let me, so I asked me to assist Bai Zijing to guard the Beast Control Pass."
Yang Luochen's stomach was rumbling at this time, Di Yuan was stunned, and quickly led the three of them away, seeing Xiao Yuan Yuan, Di Yuan asked: "Young master, who is this little girl?"
"My apprentice, his name is Yuan Yuan. Yuan Yuan's name is Uncle Di."
Xiao Yuan Yuan pinched the steamed bun and shouted, "Uncle Di"
Di Yuan led the three of them to a house under the city gate, a virtuous woman got dressed and walked out, Yang Luochen looked at it with some curiosity, Di Yuan blushed for a while, and whispered: "This is my daughter-in-law, called Ruyun, the eldest daughter of the military department's squire."
Yang Luochen was even more curious, and Di Yuan hurriedly said to the woman: "This is the young master"
As soon as Ruyun heard Di Yuan's introduction, she glanced at Yang Luochen more, and then hurriedly saluted and said: "Ruyun has seen the young master, and I heard that Brother Di always mentions you."
Yang Luochen hurriedly asked Ruyun to get up and looked at the two of them with a smile, Di Yuan was a little embarrassed to look at, and hurriedly said to Ruyun: "Ruyun, please go and make something for the young master."
Ruyun glanced at him and whispered, "It's so polite to talk to me, it's really wood."
Yang Luochen couldn't laugh anymore on the side, Ruyun went out with a red face, Di Yuan was embarrassed for a while, and Xiao Yuan Yuan asked suspiciously: "Master, what is Uncle Di's blushing face? And why does he call you young master?"
Yang Luochen smiled and said: "Your Uncle Di is embarrassed, he just calls me the young master, he is a good brother of the master."
Xiao Yuan Yuan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and soon Ruyun made a table of delicious dishes, and Xiao Yuan Yuan drooled when he saw it, and he didn't want to eat steamed buns.
"Hurry up and eat, let Aunt Ruyun take you to sleep when you're full"
Xiao Yuan Yuan ate it in a big gulp, Ruyun on the side looked at Yuan Yuan's face with kindness, afraid that she would choke, Yang Luochen also ate some, and Mingkong was sandwiching vegetarian dishes on the side.
Di Yuan came to Ruyun's side and begged in a low voice: "Ruyun, when the young master comes today, you can take out my altar for a long time, which can be regarded as catching the wind for the young master."
Ruyun glanced at him and said, "If you want to drink, you want to drink, and you want to drink, and you can use the young master as a shield." I'll go and get it, for the sake of the young master's face, it's up to you tonight."
Di Yuan's eyes were shining, and he was very happy, Yang Luochen, who saw it, was a little surprised, and asked, "Brother Di, I don't know you anymore, why doesn't my sister-in-law let you drink?"
Di Yuan said embarrassedly: "She said that drinking is wrong, and I can only drink during the New Year's holidays."
"Hahaha, the dignified Blood Shadow Wei Shaoshan is actually afraid of his daughter-in-law, if they know, I don't know what they will think of you, hahaha" Yang Luochen couldn't laugh anymore.
This is Ruyun who happened to walk in with a jar of wine, and said: "Young master, you can drink wine, but you can't drink too much, if he didn't have me to manage him, he would have become an alcoholic a long time ago, this is also for his good, how can he say that he is afraid of his wife."
Yang Luochen realized that he had lost his words just now, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, what Ruyun said is right, he is not afraid, he is reluctant to bully you."
Ruyun's face flushed, put the wine on the table, and saw that Yuan Yuan had almost eaten, so she left with Yuan Yuan with a red face.
Yang Luochen laughed for a while, and then asked, "When did you get married?"
"After coming down from the Eighty Mountain, I followed the old man to deal with the affairs of southern Xinjiang, and then the old man found a secluded place and left with the people of the Yang family.
"I was too old to look for it, but Ruyun didn't dislike me for being old and was willing to be with me, so I took her. Later, I followed the Qilin Army to control the beast pass, so I bought these recipes here by the way, and Ruyun also followed me."
Yang Luochen sighed with emotion after hearing this, he didn't expect so many things to happen in the past three years, and he also rushed to happiness for Di Yuan, at least happier than the other Blood Shadow Guards in the White Cloud Sect, especially Long Yu and Huo Linglang.
The two chatted for a long time, and Yang Luochen also knew what had happened in the Cloud Kingdom in the past three years, the Meteorite Pavilion had been disbanded, some people had entered the court as officials like Miao Xing, some people wandered the rivers and lakes, some people joined the army, some people followed the Yang family, and Qi Yangping was.
Yang Luochen also felt that Ouyang Jin actually let go of Qi Yangping, and Ouyang Jin did not violate any of the original promises, which Yang Luochen already admired.
Yang Luochen thought of the Yang family and asked, "Do you know where the Yang family lives now?"
Di Yuan shook his head and said: "None of us know, old man, none of them said, now the people of the entire Cloud Kingdom want to know where the Yang family is." However, Aunt Xiang gave me a little explanation, saying that the young master is back, and you can go to the Mu family's old house to find them."
"The old mansion of the Mu family?" This Yang Luochen heard Mu Lingxiang say, but Yang Luochen never knew where it was, and it seemed that only when he found his uncle did he know the whereabouts of the Yang family.
Yang Luochen was not in a hurry about this matter, and it was not too late to go to the Yang family after the matter was over, and then the two drank and chatted, and the Mingkong Zen Master on the side also listened quietly.
"Master, if you want to get out of this matter, I'm afraid only the young master can help you, and you also know that I can't let you go" Di Yuan looked at Mingkong and said.
Yang Luochen was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "How can I help?
Di Yuan whispered: "Young master, as long as you talk to Bai Zijing, he will turn a blind eye, and I will send the master over when the time comes."
Yang Luochen suddenly remembered the cemetery here, and told the two of them about Xinglin Village, Di Yuan frowned, and said: "Young master, this matter is not easy to handle, the army can't disturb the people privately, this is also the rule you set, I'm afraid it's hard to believe such a bizarre thing over there in the City Lord's Mansion."
Zen Master Mingkong on the side said slowly: "Amitabha, if it is really as Yang Shizhu said, the poor monk is willing to go with Yang Shizhu to subdue the evil spirit."
Mu Ye's voice came from his head: "Boy, this monk is very strong, and he can decide the Dharma of Buddhism, if he goes in person, eradicating an evil spirit is the same as playing"
