Volume 1 The Last Martial Arts Alliance Master Chapter 28 Apprenticeship

In the Shaoxing Peace Conference, the imperial court sacrificed a lot of money and land, and raped thousands of people, in exchange for not only the peace of seeking peace, but also the ashes of Emperor Huizong and Gaozong's mother.

In May of the twelfth year of Shaoxing, Emperor Gaozong's biological mother, Emperor Huizong's Concubine Wei Xian, returned to Lin'an with Huizong's coffin.

In order to show his grandeur, Emperor Gaozong led the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to personally go to Lin'an to greet him outside the city of Lin'an with a half-step salute, and the momentum was very huge.

However, what is unacceptable to the people of the world is that Gaozong has brought his father and mother back, but he has not said a word to his brother. The people are shouting and scolding, but they can only talk in private.

Actually, this thing is not difficult to understand. After all, Gaozong really ascended the throne and became emperor when his brother Qinzong was alive. Regarding his legal status, both the court and the people have objections. Although Gaozong has been trying his best to suppress it, this voice still exists. If the previous emperor is brought back, there will undoubtedly be an absurd situation of two emperors in the imperial court.

If there were, there will inevitably be people who are attached to each other, and a chaotic situation will arise in which the two forces are fighting each other.

Such a superficial truth, Emperor Gaozong must have understood. But unfortunately, I didn't understand it at that time, and the people didn't understand it either. In their hearts, they still felt that it was a great shame for the emperor of the previous dynasty to be a prisoner of the Jin people.

At that time, there was a lot of discussion among the people, and I asked Li Xiaoqian what he thought of this issue.

Li Xiaoqian replied in this way, he said: "You people are narrow-minded, everyone is the Chinese nation, the descendants of China, and the fifty-six nationalities are a flower, what is the meaning of fighting all day long. ”

He saw transcendentally. But I couldn't understand it even more. I said, "Where do you say that there are fifty-six nations?"

Li Xiaoqian patted me on the shoulder, put on a sympathetic look, and said, "Dan Bing, you can't see it." Hey......"

November of the twelfth year of Shaoxing. Lin'an Mansion ushered in a rare heavy snowfall. West Lake, a blank white, irresistible beauty of broken bridges and remnants of snow, in November of that year, left a deep impression in the hearts of the people of Lin'an that can never be erased.

I, Li Xiaoqian, and Yuantong all arrived and were particularly happy that the Zenhui Temple was finally built before the heavy snow arrived.

The day after the completion of the temple, heavy snow fell unexpectedly. I don't know whether Yuantong is touching the scene, or because of the completion of the Zen Hui Temple, so the wish has been fulfilled, Yuantong knelt in front of the Leifeng Pagoda in the morning, chanting in a low voice. Until the evening, when the snow stopped, Yuantong still did not move.

Li Xiaoqian and I came to YTO, his eyes closed and motionless. In the afternoon, he was still chanting in a low voice, and there was no movement at this time. This strikes me as odd.

Could it be that he is asleep again?

I shouted softly, "Master Yuantong?"

YTO did not respond.

I brushed away the thick snow above his head, and let his sparkling bald head reappear, and in the beautiful snowy scene, his head was like a handsome pearl, lofty and holy. I stroked his head like this, and I thought that Yuantong would turn around immediately and even point at my acupoint, so I was on guard. But YTO still didn't respond.

I gently put my hand on the top of his head again, and his shiny bald head was as cold as snow. I don't feel any temperature. So, I gently pushed Yuantong on the shoulder.

With just a gentle push, Yuantong fell to the ground like a tree that had just been cut down.

There was a "bang" sound, and Yuantong, who fell to the ground, still maintained a pious kneeling posture.

Li Xiaoqian and I were both taken aback. Li Xiaoqian exclaimed loudly: "Oh no! The master is frozen!"

Li Xiaoqian and I hurriedly carried Yuantong all the way back to Zenhui Temple. In the brand-new Zen room of Zenhui Temple, a stove was lit and a thick leather robe was draped over Yuantong.

For a long time, Yuantong was almost like a dead thing, his body was cold, his body was stiff, and he couldn't feel his nose.

I thought Yuantong was frozen to death, and I wanted to cry in my heart. But he miraculously woke up in the warmth of the red clay furnace.

"Amitabha!" Yuantong chanted the Buddha's name lightly, and his hands folded with difficulty.

I knew that Yuantong wouldn't tell me, but I still couldn't help but ask: "Master, why are you kneeling in front of Leifeng Pagoda for?

This time, Yuantong spoke. He said something obscure that I couldn't understand, he said: "The Buddha said: There are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness, death, love and separation, resentment for a long time, can't ask for it, can't let go. I can't ask for it, I can't let it go......" His expression was sad and painful, no less than when he knelt in Leifeng Tower.

Li Xiaoqian opened his mouth to persuade: "Master." You can't find long-term dependence, and short-term companionship is good. ”

At that time, I suddenly felt that Li Xiaoqian knew the secret of YTO. Maybe there was a long conversation between them that I didn't know about, or maybe Li Xiaoqian was the person to whom YTO confided for a long time.

However, I'm not. Even though I spend time with them, I'm still an outsider. In this world, there are many times when we always feel that we are extremely close to others, and even we are like a family. But by chance, it turns out that within a close-knit group, there is another, more intimate group. This discovery made me feel ridiculous, and I laughed at myself for being self-inflicted and overestimating my place in the minds of others.

In fact, I have always been the insignificant one in the minds of others. So, I've always been an outsider.

A cold wind blew the wooden window of the meditation room, making a "click" sound, like a close friend whispering. I stood up silently, walked out of the meditation room, and watched the crescent moon break through the clouds, the moonlight shrouded, and the Zenhui Temple was covered in silver.

I stared blankly at the snow, and when the cold wind blew, my heart felt sour.

The next day, Li Xiaoqian came to me to discuss how to stay at Zenhui Temple.

I said, "We built the temple with the help of Yuantong, so it's good to live in the open." ”

Li Xiaoqian said: "If that is the case, we will always be guests of Zenhui Temple. If you want to get your hands on incense money, you must become the owner of Zen Hui Temple!"

I was shocked and said, "You want to be the abbot?"

Li Xiaoqian took a sip and said, "Lao Tzu is not a monk!"

I asked, "So what do you want to do?"

Li Xiaoqian said: "While Yuantong has not yet recruited disciples, we will worship him as a teacher first, so that we can take care of the affairs of the temple for him openly." ”

I said, "You worship Yuantong as a teacher, don't you want to be a monk?"

Li Xiaoqian smiled and said, "Lay disciple!" After speaking, Li Xiaoqian pulled me to the Yuantong meditation room.

When he arrived at the door, Li Xiaoqian took out a porcelain bottle with a narrow mouth from his arms and poured the liquid in the bottle on his eyes.

I asked curiously, "What is this?"

Li Xiaoqian said, "Water!" As soon as the words fell, he pushed Yuantong's meditation room open, knelt down in front of Yuantong with a pop, and howled: "Master, you can accept me as a disciple!"

Yuantong was meditating, and when he saw Li Xiaoqian suddenly break in, his face was full of tears, his face turned white with fright, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Xiaoqian kowtowed twice and said: "I thought about it all night yesterday, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that my life was miserable. It was passed to the Great Song Dynasty for no reason, and I was abandoned by my companions, and now I am alone and unaccompanied...... Master, I'm in pain!"

Yuantong sighed and said: "Love parting, resentment for a long time, can't beg, can't beg for ......" Yuantong helped Li Xiaoqian up and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”

Li Xiaoqian kowtowed two more times and said, "Master!

Yuantong said: "You speak!"

Li Xiaoqian said: "I can't shave my head!"

YTO asked, "Why?"

Li Xiaoqian said: "It is a capital crime for us to be bald, and if I go back one day, I will definitely die." ”

Yuantong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let you take it home." ”

It's as simple as that?

I immediately knelt in front of Yuantong and shouted, "Master, I am also in pain!"

Yuantong glanced at me and said, "No!"

I was stupid and asked YTO: "Why?"

Yuantong said, "You don't have Huigen!"

I asked, "What is Huigen?"

Yuantong pointed to Li Xiaoqian's head and said, "This is Huigen!"

Although Yuantong did not accept me as a disciple, he agreed that I should stay in the Zenhui Temple. Actually, I didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, I grabbed the handle of Li Xiaoqian's greedy ink Zenhui Temple's incense money, and he would give it to me sooner or later.

When I had saved enough money, I took the money and left Zenhui Temple, bought a house in Lin'an Mansion, married a woman, and had a child......

This is all my ideals at that time.

The spring of the thirteenth year of Shaoxing. Li Xiaoqian and I cleaned up some clutter at the door of Zenhui Temple. Yuantong was originally built in Zenhui Temple, and it was ready to open the door to welcome pilgrims. But Li Xiaoqian resolutely dissuaded, he said, such a silent opening will affect the incense, always choose an auspicious day of the zodiac, hold a grand ceremony, and widely advertise it in Lin'an Mansion.

He really ran the temple as a business. Moreover, it has been recognized by YTO.

Sometimes, I really admire Li Xiaoqian. I feel that many things that I could never have imagined can be easily solved by him.

Li Xiaoqian said that this is Huigen.

I began to envy the wisdom he had. However, these are things that I will never learn. If I could learn from it, I don't think the disaster in Shaoxing would have happened in the 21st year.

Li Xiaoqian and I were in full swing. Suddenly, there was a "clanging" sound of iron tools crashing in the mountains and forests.

I thought that maybe there was some martial arts master competing in the mountains and forests, so I pulled Li Xiaoqian over to take a peek.

We followed the sound, crept closer, hid behind a large tree, and poked our heads out into the woods.

Two people, swords and swords, sparks flying, are fighting inextricably. Suddenly, I noticed that one of the figures was quite familiar, and when I looked at it, I shouted out at the same time as Li Xiaoqian: "Yuantong!"

(Sorry, it's late today, mainly because I was dizzy yesterday, and I thought I had updated it all day today...... I just looked at it and found ...... Ha ha...... Don't be surprised!)
