It was night, the cold moon shone on the mountain, and it was gloomy and desolate. There were several sounds of clear chimes in the Fuhu Temple of Mount Emei, and then the monks sang loudly, which was mixed with a faint whimper, as if it was telling great pain.

I saw thousands of monks in the main hall wearing plain cloth and reciting sutras. This hall is still a piece of ruin, but the ruins and tiles are all swept away, the monk chanting the scriptures, is the abbot of the Emei Mountain Buddhist Temple Master Huijing. If these monks do things for others, they only wear yellow robes and red robes, but this is their abbot, and it is only for each person to wear mourning clothes. In the extremely dim hall, all the monks' faces were full of pain.

I saw a figure slowly pacing into the hall, clasping his hands together, and bowing three times to the spiritual seat in the hall, but it was Zhang Tianqian. He finally felt deeply disturbed by the death of Abbot Huijing, so he thought of coming to this temple to worship and express his repentance.

Out of the temple gate, only to see the cold moon hanging obliquely, the sky and the earth are vast, he couldn't help but feel cold. Sitting on a big rock, Zhang Tianqian couldn't help but think that he had fought with his father against the Haihui in these days, and then came to Sichuan and killed so many people, and his hands were already stained with blood. Among the people he killed, there were innocent soldiers who were implicated in vain, there were comrades who used to fight side by side with the enemy, and there was also Abbot Huijing who was bent on exhorting them. He thought that when he was in Zhongshu Province, he really didn't dare to think that one day he would kill so many people, and they were innocent. But what he Zhang Tianqian was stuffy in his heart was that he didn't know why he wanted to kill them. It's just for the sake of the interests that my father talked about? But what is this benefit? I actually killed so many people without even knowing what the interests were?

He shuddered for a while, as if he felt the wind around him, and the sound of chanting in this temple added infinite panic to his heart. He hurried up the mountain to find his father, and this time he must ask what happened!

He ran along the mountain road to the outside of his father's room, where there were lights on and off, and a cold wind blew, and Zhang Tianqian felt cold behind him, and wondered if his father could tell him what they were fighting for like this. Suddenly, I saw a black shadow flashing in the corner of the wall, Zhang Tianqian was taken aback, and shouted: "What person?" hurriedly ran out to chase, but there was a small landslide behind the room, and the person slid downhill, and Zhang Tianqian couldn't see the person's whereabouts in the dark.

Zhang Gui shouted in the room, "Why are you so flustered?" Zhang Tianqian came in and saw Zhang Gui sitting cross-legged, lucky. It turned out that this Zhang Guibai had experienced a fierce battle, although he had not been injured, but he was lacking in vitality, and he was meditating on luck at the moment, and his mind was calm, so he never heard that a person was ambushed outside the door. Zhang Tianqian came in and said, "Dad, there was a thief ambushing outside the door just now. ”

Zhang Gui said: "Have you seen his appearance clearly?" Zhang Tianqian shook his head and said, "Xu is a monk of the mountain temple, he is curious, come and take a look!" Zhang Gui snorted and asked, "Why don't you meditate and recuperate?" ”

Zhang Tianqian was still stunned, Zhang Gui saw it, and said, "Qian'er, why don't you ask me why I came to live on Mount Emei?"

Zhang Tianqian said: "My son doesn't know. I don't know why my father asked me to come up the mountain. Could it be that Dad is an unpredictable prophet, knowing in advance that those people from the Western Regions are going to come up to the mountain to find you, and then ask his son to come together to resist you?" Zhang Gui sneered: "How can your father have that ability? Not to mention the unpredictable prophet, I don't know why those people with colored eyes know that Lu Yincong is on the mountain and want to come to him!" Zhang Tianqian exclaimed: "Lu Yincong is on the mountain?" Zhang Gui was angry and said: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to save my life one day if I put it in the house!" Zhang Tianqian knew that his father was referring to his serious injury to Lu Yincong on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, so he didn't dare to speak, lowered his head and stayed aside. Zhang Gui said again: "Although I don't want to teach you that Lu Yincong is on the mountain, for fear that you will have something to do if you know, but I am afraid that those lustful people will know Lu Yincong's letter on the mountain, so they will call you here, not tell you anything, just let you live here, and they can help Dad resist when they come." I didn't think they would come today, what an evil sect! I don't even know how they knew the news now!" Zhang Tianqian said: "Now that they are dead, Dad doesn't have to worry too much!"

Zhang Tianqian wanted to express the doubts in his heart, so he said: "Dad, we have killed too many people today! Qian'er wants to know, what is it that makes us kill so many people?"

Zhang Guiwei groaned, thinking that he didn't talk to Zhang Tianqian before, because he was afraid that he would leak the news, but now that the Semu people are also dead, he is so eager to know, so it is nothing to say to him.

Zhang Gui and Zhang Tianqian sat down, Zhang Gui knew that Tianqian had killed so many people, and his heart was uncomfortable, so he changed his usual serious face towards his son, and said gently: "Qian'er, you are better, if the eldest husband wants to achieve great things, how can you care about how many people he kills? Look at that Lu Yincong, you say that he has no blood on his hands? How is that possible? How many people he has killed, I'm afraid he himself can't remember! What's more, the people we killed are not good people!" Zhang Tianqian heard his father say that Lu Yincong didn't know how many people he had killed, and when he felt that he was too soft and soft-hearted, he couldn't help but hold his breath, only to feel that he couldn't compare to him. As soon as the anger in his heart came, he let go of the fact that he had killed too many people today.

Zhang Gui said: "Qian'er, let me tell you what is worthy of making us fight so hard!" I saw that the candle flame shook frequently, and a drop of wax oil fell and fell on the solidified wax oil in the candlestick, like a tear melted into blood. The tears are still faintly there.

I only heard Zhang Gui say to Zhang Tianqian: "Qian'er, do you know that a major event happened in the first year of Kaiqing in the Southern Song Dynasty?" Zhang Tianqian counted for a long time and said with a smile: "Dad, I know! That was the year you were born!" Zhang Gui scolded with a smile: "My birth is a big deal! Okay, you can't think of it, I'll tell you! That year, Shizu's brother Meng Ke Khan died violently in Sichuan. ”

Zhang Tianqian said: "What's the matter?" Zhang Gui didn't answer, but started another story, saying: "A few years ago, your father saved an old attendant in the palace, you know this. Zhang Tianqian nodded and said, "He is very grateful to his father." Zhang Gui said: "But there is another thing you don't know. He was very grateful to his father, and invited him to a table of wine that night. ”

At the banquet that night, there were only two people, Zhang Gui and the old attendant. After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Gui couldn't help but sigh: "I think I, Zhang Gui, have a good martial arts and a talent for governing the world, but I can't always use it greatly! Zhang Gui's amount of wine was excellent, but when he talked about it, he was sullen and angry, and the wine rushed upward, and he was a little drunk after a while.

The old attendant said: "The benevolent is both civil and military, wise and brave, and the son of a meritorious hero, he will definitely be glorified in the future, and he will make a great fortune!" Zhang Gui snorted and sighed: "You said it very well, but I, Zhang Gui, don't have the life to make a career!" The attendant said: "Does the benefactor feel that his official deserves to be unsatisfactory?" Zhang Gui said: "Not really." It's just that I'm in Zhongshu Province, and I always want to make a big career. ”

The old attendant listened, did not make a sound, lowered his head and slowly drank a glass of wine, frowning. Immediately, he looked at Zhang Gui, and the tips of his furrowed brows also relaxed, as if he had made up his mind. He said: "Benefactor, you saved the life of the old man, and the old man wants to repay the favor, but he is old but he doesn't know how to repay the benefactor." Now that the old man knows his benefactor's thoughts, if there is a way to help his benefactor but hides it and doesn't say it, it will really be a curse!"

When Zhang Gui heard this, he was shocked, stood up, picked up a glass of wine, and said: "What is the clever plan of Mr. to help me? The fate of Zhang Gui's career depends on Mr. 's guidance!"

The old attendant hurriedly drank the glass of wine and asked Zhang Gui to sit down. He sighed: "The old man has to come to his rescue, and this kindness must be repaid! What's more, if you don't take this opportunity to repay your benefactor, you will not close your eyes after you die. ”

Zhang Gui listened carefully, only to hear the old attendant say: "This matter has to start with the sudden departure of Meng Ge Khan in Sichuan. In the days after the death of Möngke Khan, our ancestor Kublai Khan was about to prepare and then go to the funeral, and he was still in the Central Plains at that time. Suddenly, one day the ancestor told me and the other four attendants to bring poisoned wine to the five officers. Although we feel strange, but Shizu has always acted treacherously, and it is inconvenient for us to ask if we are low, so we guess that it was the five of them who committed the mistake of killing their heads, so Shizu let them drink poisonous wine. Each of the five of us was in charge of an officer, and I brought wine to the officer I was in charge of and said to him, 'The general gives you wine to drink.' The man did not doubt it, and drank the wine, but I knew that when he raised his head, even the gods could not save him. I'm still in his house, because the Patriarch said we should see these people dead before we can come back and report it. After a while, the poisonous wine attacked, and I saw that the officer could not stand up in abdominal pain, and collapsed on the side of the couch. His eyes were red, and he said in a trembling voice, "This is poisonous wine! Why? Why do you want to give me poisonous wine!" I hid far away, afraid that he would harm me, but he had no strength. He roared angrily and suddenly shouted: "Kublai Khan! You want us to kill Chahar, you are afraid that people will know, and now you want to get rid of us! But do you know that your wishful thinking is empty! The words we told you that Chahar was successfully killed by us are actually false, and we have not been able to kill him at all! When we fought him, he fled to the sea, and they might have survived...... After he finished saying these words, his eyes suddenly straightened, and he vomited a mouthful of blood, and he did not move from then on. I knew that the poison had attacked, that he had died, and that I could make a deal. But what he said before he died, I also secretly remember it in my heart.

At that time, I pondered: It turned out that Shizu wanted to kill these five people because Shizu had sent them to kill Chahar! This Chahar is so famous that no one knows it, and no one knows it! This person was once saved by Kublai Khan, and he was very grateful in my heart; at the same time, he was very capable of fighting, and it was with Meng Ke Khan's war in Sichuan that he held a prominent official position.

But I thought at the time, why did the ancestor kill Chahar? he had saved him, and the relationship between the two of them must be quite close, so why did the ancestor kill him again!

At that time, I suddenly had a conjecture, and as soon as this idea came out, I was shocked into a cold sweat!

Zhang Gui listened attentively, his heart was pounding, and he hurriedly said, "Please tell me sir." ”

The old attendant was calm and said: "I guessed at that time that Shizu was going to be the Great Khan, so I sent a letter to Chahar in Sichuan, asking him to quietly kill Meng Ge Khan. When the news of Möngke Khan's death came out, Shizu knew that Chahar had succeeded in handling the matter, and Shizu was afraid of revealing this great secret, so he sent the five officers to kill Chahar. The five officers came back and told Sejo that they had succeeded in killing Chahar, but it was actually a lie, and they were probably afraid that Sejo would blame him for making up this lie. Later, Shizu was afraid that these people would know too much about the future, so he asked a few of our attendants to give them poisonous wine. ”

When Zhang Gui heard this, he was surprised in his heart, but he heard the old attendant continue: "Shizu has always been ambitious, maybe he wants to be a great khan and is in a hurry. I thought that since Sejo was an ambitious man, my guess was probably right. He took a sip of wine and ate a dish with chopsticks, and he was as light as a breeze when he said such a big thing.

Zhang Gui couldn't help but be surprised: "That Chahar didn't kill him!" The old attendant smiled slightly and said, "Yes!

The old attendant took a sip of wine, and then continued: "After I had this guess at the time, how could I tell the ancestor? How could I tell him that Chahar was not dead? If I told him, wouldn't it mean that I also knew this shocking secret? The ancestor could still let the old man go? The old man didn't want to die at that time!"

The old man thought that Chahar had been in Sichuan at that time, and Shizu had been in the Central Plains, and Shizu was not used to using pigeons to fly letters, so he must have sent someone to deliver a letter to Chahar, but I don't know about this person, maybe he also taught Shizu to kill him. But benefactor, you think, that Chahar fled to the sea, and he must have in his possession the evidence and letters brought to him by the man sent by the ancestors to kill Möngke Khan!"

When Zhang Gui heard this, his heart almost jumped out of his cavity. I only heard the old attendant continue: "All these years, I have carefully and carefully buried this matter in my heart, and lived carefully, and finally did not let anyone know about it. He gently picked up a glass of wine, saluted Zhang Gui's eyes, and said: "Now the old man has told this matter to the life-saving benefactor, hoping that it can be of great help to the benefactor! The old man has finally calculated the great matter of repaying the favor in his heart, and he can close his eyes when he dies in the future! Hahaha!" He laughed loudly and toasted to Zhang Gui, who drank the wine in one gulp, and the old attendant also drank the glass of wine in his hand.

Zhang Gui told Zhang Tianqian the whole story of this matter, and Zhang Tianqian was dumbfounded. Zhang Gui said: "Your father and I have always thought that Zhongshu Province, at the feet of the emperor, naturally has to do a great job! So as soon as your father learned about this, he was so happy, think about it, if I get the evidence and letters sent by the ancestor to Chahar back then, what will happen? Then your father can use this thing to mix him up in their Mongolian clan! You also know that the Mongolian royal family has always been unstable! Then I will use this thing to make him go from side to side, step by step, and there should be no problem with glory and wealth!"

When Zhang Tianqian heard this, he was also very excited, and hurriedly said: "Of course!" Zhang Gui continued: "Then the key to your father's doing this is naturally to find that Chahar!" Zhang Tianqian looked embarrassed and said, "Yes, where is this Chahar going to find!" Zhang Gui smiled and said: "Listen to me! Your father and I used to eat in a tavern when we were young, and there were a few people sitting at the next table at your father's table. A person is from other places, said that he had been to the Shaolin Temple in Futian, and saw the monks in the Shaolin Temple practicing martial arts, my interest increased greatly, so I listened to a few words, but this person is not a practitioner, and he can't say anything in the martial arts, but he just said that the martial arts are good, and the monks in the temple practice very hard. I was listening to it boringly, and the man suddenly said that he had met a monk on the mountain road of Shaolin Temple, and he didn't say anything when he asked him how to go on the road, and then the man found out that the monk was a Mongolian! That man was so strange that he said that the Mongolians had always believed in Tibetan Buddhism, but why did the Mongolian become a monk in Han Buddhism! When I heard this, I also felt very strange at that time. ”

Zhang Gui took a sip of tea and continued: "After I learned about that from the attendant's mouth, I especially wanted to find that Chahar, but there was a vast sea of people, where to look for it! I was worried about what to do, and suddenly your father thought of this thing that I had heard in the tavern! I wondered at that time, could this Chahar be the Mongolian monk they mentioned in the Shaolin Temple in Futian!" Zhang Gui's eyes were blazing, his face was flushed, and when he said this, he was as if he had just made this conjecture, and he was very interested. He then said: "I went to the Shaolin Temple in Futian, and as a result, the monk was already dead!" Zhang Tianqian said nervously: "How can this be a good life?" Zhang Gui said: "I thought, if this person is really Chahar, then he has been hidden in this temple for so many years, it must be very hard! But although he is dead, won't he leave anything behind, or something, related to the important incident that happened to him?" I sent a few people to look in the Mongolian monk's bedroom, but they were all driven out by the Shaolin Temple gang. As a result, there was a master Hongen in the Shaolin Temple, and he actually went to the monk's room to look for it, and he really found something for him, that is, the silk silk, and the silk silk was densely written. When I learned about this, I was very excited, and I hurriedly asked him for it! But Na Hongen didn't give it, and actually found a person! Who are you talking about that person? It is Lu Yusi, who is sitting in the top spot of the Yahai Society, that is, Lu Yincong's father, and he is actually the apprentice of Master Nahongen! You also know who Lu Yusi's father is, that is, Lu Xiufu! Back then, Lu Xiufu was defeated by the Mongols in the Battle of Kuhai, but this Lu Yusi always thought that your grandfather had made a trick! But before his death, your grandfather told me what happened back then, and it was indeed the Mongol who was unrighteous and not that he was unrighteous, so what your grandfather said could be false! Your grandfather also asked me to find the descendants of Na Lu Hideo and treat him well, how could he harm that Lu Hideo back then!

After that, Master Hongen called me and Lu Yusi together and told us that this silk was written about the internal affairs of the Mongols, and the relationship was quite important, so this silk silk must be handed over to the anti-Yuan people. ”

When Zhang Tianqian heard this, he shouted: "Oops!" Zhang Guiye laughed and said: "As soon as I heard this, I knew that the Mongolian monk must be Chahar! It turned out that he fled to the sea back then, and he really did not die, but he actually went to the Shaolin Temple in Futian to become a monk. I didn't expect your father and my luck to be not bad!" Zhang Tianqian also smiled: "Yes!"

Zhang Gui continued: "In order to get the silk silk, I explained to Lu Yusi that there was a misunderstanding between our fathers. At the same time, I also told Na Hongen that although I was an official in the imperial court, what I was asking for was to disintegrate the Mongols from within, so I also had an anti-Yuan heart, so I waited to get this silk silk to act cheaply. Zhang Tianqian praised: "It's wonderful for my father to say this!" Zhang Gui said: "Later, Lu Yusi seemed to be moved by my words, and he didn't shout much to kill me for revenge." But we are still at an impasse. He is an anti-Yuan person, so he naturally wants to get the silk silk to achieve great things, but I also said that I am also an anti-Yuan person, and I also want to get the silk silk, so I can't stand upright. Later, it was Master Hongen who proposed to use the method of playing between the two of us to decide the winner. Then I will go back to Zhongshu Province to organize people, and you will know the rest of the matter. ”

"Then Dad, what would this sea society do if it knew about the internal affairs of the Mongols?" asked Zhang Tianqian. Zhang Gui said in a deep voice: "When you enter the palace and spread this matter, you can teach the Mongols to turn the world upside down! At that time, they will raise troops again, and they will get twice the result with half the effort!" He said slowly: "But your father and I don't want to spread this matter, but we want to pinch this matter to teach my father to be left and right, and he is extremely rich." Zhang Tianqian said: "Dad will definitely succeed." Zhang Gui smiled: "Yes, your father will succeed!"

Zhang Tianqian suddenly thought of something, frowned slightly, and said: "Dad, you once secretly told me that you have already asked for silk silk from the sea society, because we took Lu Yincong, and this Hongen master will definitely give the silk silk to Lu Yusi." But once this silk is in their hands, won't they look at it? They won't continue to operate downward on their own?" Zhang Gui nodded and said, "You kid asked this very well! But your father also said in his letter to them, if your father doesn't fulfill his wish one day and doesn't follow this silk to complete the next thing, then they don't want to see Lu Yincong for a day!" Zhang Tianqian listened, and couldn't help but secretly admire his father's resourcefulness. I only heard Zhang Gui say again: "They deserve to take a shortcut without that fate! If they want to oppose the Yuan, they will honestly follow their old path, train his soldiers and horses, and use their real skills to oppose the court." Zhang Tianqian smiled and said: "Father is very right!"
