Chapter 21: Hirobuchi Kakuki's Nostalgia (1)
Let's say that Guangyuan returned to the capital and rested at his residence. Guangyuan entered the house, and Shuang'er was still under house arrest by him in the house, and her acupuncture points were set on fire.
Guang Yuan came up to unlock Shuang'er's acupoint, and Shuang'er questioned Guang Yuan: "You brought me all the way from Taihang Mountain to the capital, and you have put me under house arrest for more than a year and almost two years, how long are you going to lock me up?" Guang Yuan closed his eyes and didn't speak, and Shuang'er said, "Hurry up and let me go." Guangyuan said: "You are a girl, I let you go, where can you go alone." Shuang'er said, "I'll go find Brother Ren." β
After hearing this, Guangyuan said loudly: "Brother Ren, Brother Ren, why do you only have Ren Unruly in your heart." Guang Yuan's eyes looked at Shuang'er tightly, Shuang'er pushed Guang Yuan away to go out, Guang Yuan grabbed Shuang'er, Shuang'er wanted to break free from Guang Yuan and go out, Guang Yuan hit Shuang'er on the back of the head and knocked Shuang'er unconscious.
Guangyuan helped Shuang'er into the inner room, he looked at the fainting Shuang'er and said, "Don't worry, until you really obey me, I won't touch you and do what you don't want to do." But sooner or later, one day, I will let you see with your own eyes, me and Ren Buru, who is the one you should choose, I want you to obey me sincerely. β
At this time, I heard someone knock on the door, and Guangyuan closed the door of the inner room and walked over. Guangyuan opened the door, and the person outside the door was none other than Jueqing, who had followed his nephew in Shaolin and was later kicked out of the division.
Guang Yuan couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Jueqing, and asked, "Jueqing, why are you, why are you here?" Jueqing first saluted Guang Yuan and said, "Uncle Shi." Guangyuan looked at Jueqing, and didn't react for a while, he couldn't imagine that he would be able to see this old man after a few years. Jueqing walked into the room and sat down, looked up at Guang Yuan and asked, "Why, now that Uncle Shi is soaring in the imperial court, and my nephew is coming to be a guest, is it difficult to even drink a cup of tea?" Guang Yuan said lightly: "Sit down." β
Jueqing looked at Guangyuan and said, "Uncle Shi......" Guangyuan said to Jueqing: "You and I are not from Shaolin, why don't you come to Uncle and Nephew, don't call it that." Jueqing listened and asked: "Prince Guangyuan, I never thought that you would come to this point today, how could you be like this?" Guangyuan said: "You can betray Shaolin as a monk, what can't I do." Jueqing said: "I'm different from you. Guangyuan listened and looked at Jueqing.
Jueqing said: "I didn't betray Shaolin at the beginning, I was originally an undercover agent sent to Shaolin by the imperial court. After hearing this, Guangyuan asked, "What did you say?" Jueqing said: "I am actually a doorman of Bosil, when I was ten years old, I went to the Shaolin Temple to become a monk, but the real purpose was actually to go undercover in the Shaolin Temple. After hearing this, Guang Yuan sneered: "You are really hiding deep enough, and you have been undercover in Shaolin for ten years, so that everyone in Shaolin Temple can not see it." β
Jueqing said: "As a closed disciple of Fadu, you can also betray Shaolin, is it just because of the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance with Wang Qianyuan?" Guangyuan said: "To this point, the Shaolin faction has also contributed a lot, from childhood to adulthood, isn't what I experienced enough." β
Guangyuan closed his eyes and said, "I was originally a child of an ordinary family, but when I was five years old, I was abducted and sold to a landlord's house to do child labor. It was a nightmare for my whole life. I do heavy work every day, I can't eat enough, and I am often beaten by the housekeeper. β
Jueqing asked: "I can't imagine that you have such a background, I really can't understand, you were only five years old at that time, what kind of work could you do?" Guangyuan said: "Every morning, I get up first and wipe the floor of the entire house, wipe all the furniture, tables and chairs, wash the dishes, wash the vegetables, clean the house, and serve the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the family." Except for the work with too much strength, I did everything else, and the little master of the landlord's family bullied me from time to time.
I was beaten when I got up late, I was beaten if I didn't do my job well, I was beaten when I was tired, I stopped working, and I was beaten, which made the little master unhappy and inevitably beaten. The one I remember the most was when I was hung up by the housekeeper and let several housekeepers take turns whipping them all night. I was knocked unconscious, woken up by tossing, knocked unconscious again, woken up by tossing. That's how they tortured me that night. β
Guang Yuanchong took out a peace lock from his body, and only half of this peace lock was left. Jueqing said: "This is ......" Guangyuan said: "This is what my father and mother wore for me when I was a child, bless me with peace and security, and now there is only half of it left." Jueqing asked: "What's going on?" Guangyuan said: "That time, the little master saw this peace lock of mine, and thought it was fun to come and grab it, I can tolerate everything, but this peace lock was given to me by my father, and it is also the only token that I will recognize with my father and mother in the future, I must not let anyone touch it."
The more I refused to give it to him, the more I came to rob it, so that the landlords and stewards were alarmed. The landlord angrily broke my safety lock in half, and the housekeeper beat me severely. In the end, I only picked up this half, and I couldn't find the other half. When I was young, I thought of my father and my mother, and I cried all night with half of the lock in my hand. β
Jueqing asked, "Then how did you get to Shaolin?" Guangyuan said: "Finally, one day, I quietly got up and slipped out of the house in the dead of night, but I didn't want to alarm the dogs in the house, and as soon as the dogs barked, the family woke up. That night, seven or eight family members with dogs chased me all the way, and I walked in the dark, and they chased me all the way to a hillside outside the city, but the hillside was rough and slippery, and I slid down the hill with one foot. It was dark, and there were many trees and rocks on the hillside, so the gang did not dare to risk chasing me, so they searched for me twice and went back, so the slip also saved me. β
"After sliding down the hill, both of my legs were injured and I couldn't stand up at all. I just kept crawling for a long time, and that part of the road was so long and so difficult for me when I was young. Jue Qing sighed when he heard this: "How old were you at that time, it is really hard to imagine how a child can climb so far." β
Guang Yuan raised his head and said: "The sky has eyes, so I fainted at the gate of Shaolin Temple." When I woke up, I was lying in the temple, and when I saw that there were people around me, my first consciousness was that I was afraid, afraid that I would be beaten and bullied, so I was so frightened that I quickly shrank in a corner. I still can't forget Fadu's kind face, it was kind and kind that I have never seen before, like a ray of warm sunshine shining into my heart, it was Fadu who saved me, it was Fadu who gave me the warmth and hope to live. Jueqing listened and said, "It turns out that this is how you entered Shaolin." β
Guangyuan said: "After Fadu asked the monk to give me medicine on my wound, he asked me whose child I was and wanted to send me home. But I didn't remember where my home was, let alone the way home. When Fadu found out about me and saw that I was so pitiful, he felt pity and compassion for me, so he decided to take me in. Jueqing said: "According to common sense, Du should shave you and make you a monk." β
Guangyuan said: "At that time, Fadu wanted to shave my ordination and let me become a monk, at this time, Fa Xiang came out and said that this child had no fate with the Buddha, and the monk and numerology conflicted, so Fadu accepted me as a lay disciple. Whether you are a lay disciple or not, at least you are not subject to so many constraints, and you don't need to abide by so many rules and precepts. In this way, Fadu taught me Buddhism, taught me martial arts, and I took it with me in Shaolin day after day. β
Guangyuan looked at Jueqing and continued: "I was still young at that time, but I also understood some things. Seeing that the temple was full of compassionate monks, and the master was so amiable and took good care of me, I thought that I had finally come to the end of my hardships and didn't have to be bullied anymore, but I was too naΓ―ve, and I suffered too much unfair treatment in the future in the Shaolin School. β
Jueqing asked: "Why is this, who in the Shaolin Sect will treat you like the people of the landlord's family?" Guangyuan said: "Due to various experiences, I am relatively withdrawn, taciturn, not good at communicating with people, and hardly talk to my senior brothers, even if I speak, it is only two sentences. I often shut myself off, and after a long time, the senior brothers thought I was weird and unsociable, so they isolated me.
I am also a junior brother, so I do all the hard work and dirty work between my brothers and sisters, and when I practice martial arts, my brothers make things difficult for me in every way, and in their eyes, I seem to be a monster. In this way, I have been going all the way through Shaolin. β
Jueqing asked, "Your biological parents, have you ever seen them again?" Guangyuan nodded and said, "Yes, I never dreamed that I would be able to see my parents again, you don't know how happy I was at that moment." However, when my father saw that I no longer recognized me, he stared at me blankly, as if he were looking at a stranger. My mother was blinded by crying because of my disappearance. Home, has fallen into disarray. Seeing such a state of deplorability, my heart is sour and bitter.
My dad looked at me with a confused look on his face and asked me who I was. I told my father and mother that my father and mother had come back. My father listened to it as if he had been stimulated by something, and he was crazy and kept saying that it was impossible, that it was impossible, that my son would have been lost and would have died a long time ago. My heart is broken to see that they have become like this because of my disappearance, and I really don't know how they have come to be after all these years. I grabbed my dad and it was really a child who came back, but my dad didn't believe it.
I took out the peace lock on my body, which they blessed me with when I was a child, and it was an ancestral heirloom. But there is only half of the peace lock left. When my dad saw the half of the lock in my hand, he was completely stunned, and they finally recognized me. My father kept saying, it's really my son, it's really my son, Guanyin Bodhisattva has appeared, Guanyin Bodhisattva has appeared. My blind old lady was so excited that her hands trembled and touched my face, and our family of three hugged each other and cried bitterly. β
"That night, our family of three had a good reunion dinner, and that night was the warmest and happiest night in my life. My father and my mother are also happy, my mother made us a big table of good dishes, my father took out many years of old wine, my father and I drank a drunk, and the family of three enjoyed the joy of family together. β
"But that's how fate plays tricks. I had just been reunited with my father, and the next day, my father and mother died tragically at the hands of someone else. Jueqing asked: "How did Lingzun Lingtang die?" Guangyuan sighed: "The harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, the local county order is more fierce than the tiger, the local county order is the common people, the tyranny is tyrannical, and all kinds of evil are done, my father and mother were killed by the local county order, by the corrupt officials and corrupt officials."
That day, I went out to buy wine for my father in the market, and it was during this time that the dog official sent the officials from the yamen to my house to loot, and the family was already poor at that time, and finally killed my father and mother. When I got home, the house was in shambles, and my father and mother had died tragically at home. Looking at my father, I was stupid all of a sudden, like a thunderbolt from the blue. I had just been reunited with my father and mother, and I was completely devastated. Speaking of this, Guangyuan's eyes looked straight ahead, as if that scene appeared in front of his eyes again.
Guangyuan said: "I arrived at the gate of the county ya, I wanted to settle accounts with the dog official, and the group of officials who didn't know whether they were alive or dead stopped me, anyway, the dog slaves who forced my father and mother to death were also accomplices. It was precisely because the government killed my father and mother that I began to join the ranks of anti-Qing from then on. β
Guangyuan said: "Just after I returned to the Shaolin Temple with the enemy, several of my senior brothers came up and surrounded me, indiscriminately saying that I had made indiscriminate killings, violated the rules of the door, and ruined the reputation of Shaolin, and wanted to punish me with a cane of fifty, and then wanted to drive me out of the mountain gate." I said that I was going to avenge the murder of my father and mother, but they didn't listen. I wanted to ask Master to explain, but these people stopped me and didn't let me see Master. In desperation, I got into an argument with my brother, and my brother slapped me in the face, and since then, I have been deaf in my left ear. β
Jue Qing couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and asked: "It turns out that you are deaf in your left ear, why has no one ever known about this matter, and doesn't Fa Du know either?" Guang Yuan said: "I haven't told anyone about this matter, so far, you are the first person to know that I am deaf in my left ear." They were all apprentices of the same master, but they never treated me as a disciple, and they didn't have the slightest affection for me. β
Guangyuan said: "That day, I just avenged the murder of my father and mother, and my mood has not yet calmed down, and I am really angry when I catch up with my senior brothers who make things so difficult for me. So I started a fight with my senior brothers, of course, I was outnumbered, and my martial arts were lower than them, so I was naturally beaten by them. From that time on, I secretly vowed in my heart that I must practice martial arts hard, and sooner or later, I will be able to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, make my own reputation in the rivers and lakes, and no longer be angry with them. β
"Since that day, I have practiced even harder, no matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, cold and heat, I have always been the earliest and the latest in the whole temple to get up every day. In the eyes of the people in the temple, I was like a madman, locking myself in the practice room every day, practicing boxing, swords, and swords, until I was so tired that I fell asleep.
But once you fall asleep, you are greeted with one nightmare after another. I dreamed of my father, my mother, and dreamed of them being killed, and how many nights I was awakened by my own nightmares. During the day, I didn't dare to let myself be idle, I was afraid that once I was idle, those terrible memories would keep coming to my mind. So, I've lived my own nightmare every day all these years. β
Jueqing said: "I still remember the forty-first year of Kangxi, when you became famous in a battle, and since then there has been a Guangyuan name on the rivers and lakes, and you also have the name of this 'cold-faced swordsman'." β
