Chapter Eighty-Eight: Born to be a Buddha
readx;? The old eunuch stopped, looked back at Liu Tugou, who seemed to be going to stand up for the little eunuch, and then looked at Wu Yan, with Щщщш in his eyes. lā
Seeing this, Wu Yan laughed softly: "This is the Imperial Prison Southern Ya Dutong, and he is also my junior brother. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
He pointed at Dou Honglian again: "My apprentice, you have known each other for a long time, but you have just had the official status of the Northern Ya Dutong, and you will rarely be allowed to enter the palace in the future. ”
The old eunuch nodded when he heard this, spoke for the first time, and said word by word: "This is not in accordance with the rules. ”
His voice was weak and hoarse, and he spoke slowly and logically, with an invisible bearing.
Wu Yan also nodded: "The young man is a little reckless, Mr. Huang is more responsible, and this is not the Department of Internal Affairs, and you are only in charge temporarily, it doesn't seem appropriate to use that set of rules, and you also know Su Mansheng's literati temper." ”
The old lady listened, hesitated slightly, and finally turned around and walked back into the distance, picking up the broom leaning against the door.
Hearing the name of "Su Mansheng" from Wu Yan's mouth, Liu Tugou turned his head and glanced at Ah Wei, and said in his heart Murong Chunxiao said that Su Mansheng was the chief of the secretary pavilion, but this place was not like the secretary pavilion where the royal family lived, but he didn't know why it became an important place, and he also had a relationship with that pot fairy.
As for this Huang manager, I'm afraid it's Yang Yanchan's master, the eunuch Huang Qingshui, the chief eunuch of the Internal Affairs Department, no wonder the little eunuch is afraid of being like that, but such a powerful figure doesn't want to look so unlucky.
Liu Tugou stepped forward, picked up the little eunuch who was still kowtowing, glanced at the sobbing little face, and grinned: "Your method is not right, I will teach you to be obedient, you go to find a piece of meat, no matter what kind of meat, of course, pork liver is the best." ”
He pushed the little eunuch with a look of disbelief on his face: "Understand?
The little eunuch took two steps back, woke up like a dream, nodded vigorously at Liu Tugou, and then didn't want a rolling pin, turned his head and ran.
Dou Honglian couldn't get used to the behavior of the Department of Internal Affairs on weekdays and the edict and prison, but seeing that Liu Tugou was willing to come forward, and looked interesting, she couldn't help laughing and said: "Liu Tugou, that little eunuch should be working in the small kitchen of a palace somewhere nearby, this kind of little person is like an ant in the palace, he is most greedy for life and afraid of death, not to mention any faith, do you think he will come back?"
Liu Tugou glanced at the old eunuch who was silently sweeping the floor, and said indifferently: "If he doesn't come back, I'm afraid that no one will be able to save his life, and if he comes back, ......."
The old eunuch felt Liu Tugou's scrutinizing gaze, raised his head and said slowly: "If you come back, it will not be difficult to live." ”
The few people present were not impatient people, and after waiting for a while, they heard the footsteps of the little eunuch running.
This time he was holding a piece of pork liver in his hand, his face was half eager and half afraid, but he did not stop for a moment, until he ran outside the arch before he timidly stopped, and he was covered with a lot of mud, and it was obvious that he had fallen a few times on the road.
The little eunuch gritted his teeth, puffed up his chest and took a big breath, and then he mustered up the courage to walk into the courtyard and handed the pork liver to Liu Tugou.
Liu Tugou took it, picked up the rolling pin from the ground, walked to the big white goose, and glanced at the old eunuch again.
The old eunuch no longer pretended to sweep the floor, and did not see how he moved, and the big white goose, which stood still, suddenly made a cry of "rolling" again.
Just before it could continue to escape, Liu Tugou had already stretched out his left hand holding the pig's liver and put it not far above the head of the big white goose.
At the moment of the food, the big white goose immediately straightened its neck and struggled to bite the piece of pork liver, but unfortunately it was always a little short, so anxious that it flapped its wings and was about to jump upward.
When it was too late, Liu Tugou swung his rolling pin violently, and hit the big white goose's straight neck with a stick.
With a bang, the big white goose fell to the ground, and no longer moved, and I don't know whether it was dead or whipped away by a stick.
Crisp and clean!
The little eunuch opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a moment.
Liu Tugou threw the rolling pin back to the little eunuch, and didn't pay attention to the other party's hurry, and turned around to speak, when he found that the eyes of several people and two demons behind him were a little weird.
I heard Wu Yan sigh: "It is a means of Zen Buddhism, and the younger brother is young, and every move is a Zen machine." ”
The old eunuch also seemed to be quite touched: "People die for money, birds die for food, and if you see through this layer, you can still take advantage of the situation, and with this scheming method, I am afraid that the official hat of these four products is still too small." ”
Second Master Liu was surprised, subconsciously scratched his head, and said softly with a little weakness: "It's like this in the market......"
Dou Honglian couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, and said: "I didn't know that this goose also eats meat, and we can all understand your method, but why is it best to use pork liver?"
Liu Tugou blinked his eyes and grinned: "I have been a butcher, specializing in the business of killing pigs and cutting meat, and I am used to using pig liver to help the goose seller next door, in fact, it is ......the same for pig hearts and pig lungs."
Dou Honglian didn't expect such an answer, so she couldn't help laughing, shook her head and teased: "No wonder they all say that they put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot." If you want me to say, your stick is much sharper than the sword of the heavenly man of Lingshan Nalaoshzi. ”
Her smile did not have the perverse spirit that the previous demon gate had conceived, nor was it like an ordinary woman's twisted posture, but like a man, she went straight and undisguised, but it looked extraordinarily refreshing and clear, just like the morning dew, but this said word can be called deviant, quite the demeanor of a female devil.
Wu Yan didn't think it was wrong, and said with a smile: "As a butcher, he has killed countless people, but when he shoots, he doesn't linger in his arms at all, leaving only a piece of pure heart, and he may not be able to find a single person among the thousands of butchers in the world." With this endowment, it's no wonder that he can kill with a knife at a young age, but he is disgusting. Senior brother, you used to ask me with a knife what right and wrong mean in addition to good and evil, and when you started to do it, did you have the idea of right and wrong in your heart? Killing a goose to save a person is right and wrong?"
Liu Tugou frowned when he heard this, pondered for a moment, and shook his head: "When I made a move, I had no distracting thoughts, and I had forgotten the root cause of saving people. The reason why I was able to kill but disgusting was because of a coincidence, and I had the word good and evil in my heart, and then I was able to try to slash it all with a sword. However, it is easy to distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, since I came out of the mountain, there is no one who is not right and wrong, and none of the things I have seen are not right and wrong, and there is no right and wrong in my heart. ”
Wu Yan was silent, but it was the old eunuch Huang who smiled: "The Marquis of Zhenjiao, this is the legendary natural Buddha, according to the old decay, whether it is your apprentice or the twelve laws, it seems that they are slightly inferior?"
Dou Honglian glanced at the old eunuch Huang, and said unhappily: "It's just that the Tao is different, I think this guy has been led astray by you old guys, and there is nothing in his heart, and he is full of troubles!"
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
Liu Tugou seemed to suddenly realize, and some of the depression since entering Beijing was swept away, and he grinned: "I'm really full." ”
He glanced at the little eunuch who was still standing timidly beside him, and when everyone was talking about what was right and wrong, the little eunuch kept his head down, and he didn't dare to breathe, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He smiled at Huang Qingshui and said, "Manager Huang, what do you think of this kid?"
Huang Qingshui glanced at the little eunuch, speaking of which this child was born with a tiger's brain, and he was also quite clever, he knew that Buddhism was the most important cause and effect, and it was not impossible to sell this Nan Yadu to unify his face, as for the little eunuch to appear so coincidentally, whether there was anything strange in it, naturally he had to find out clearly, so he snorted and said: "Barely a manufacturable material." Boy, go back and talk to your boss, and say that Huang Qingshui lacks a messenger by his side, and he wants you to go on an errand. ”
The little eunuch was startled, as if he didn't believe it, and then a complicated look of fear and joy appeared on his face.
Fortunately, he experienced the catastrophe of near-death today, and his mind seemed to have matured a lot all of a sudden, so he quickly knelt down, kowtowed three solid heads to Huang Qingshui, and knelt and moved his knees, and also used all his strength to kowtow to Liu Tugou three times, then he got up cautiously, bent down and picked up the big white goose on the ground, retreated to the courtyard gate lightly, and then turned around and went quietly.
Dou Honglian sneered: "This is still the child who ran after the goose just now? They all say that the Demon Gate exterminates human nature, how can I look at it is the opposite?"
Liu Tugou looked Dou Honglian up and down, and the length of time and the unscrupulousness in his eyes provoked this young master Dou to raise his eyebrows and almost draw his knife.
He smiled at this time, and suddenly said: "Just say to you that I am full, you calculated that I fought with Lei Ye before, and I will write it off!"
Dou Honglian smiled angrily: "Yo, then the niece of the junior has to thank Uncle Xiao for your villain?"
Seeing that the two newly appointed commanders of the north and south of the Imperial Prison were about to be in front of the eunuchs, the chief of the Department of Internal Affairs, Wu Yan waved his long sleeves, and even the sky seemed to be darkened in the small courtyard.
A smile bloomed on Huang Qingshui's bitter gourd face, which became even more ugly: "Prison Marquis, I'm afraid that in the future, these two young people will compete with Yan Chan, that child's heart is too high, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a good death." If there is really that day, please also ask Liu Dutong to look at the good fate he has formed today, not to save his life, but to give him a good time. ”
Seeing that Liu Tugou was a little surprised on his face, Huang Qingshui smiled: "It seems that Liu Dutong is used to fighting in the border army, and when he first entered the edict, he is not very clear, many times, those poor people who fall into our hands, even if they have a few hard bones, are not afraid of death, but they want to die quickly." ”
When Liu Tugou heard this, he suddenly remembered that even if he was like a Buddhist Taoist who had been fighting for a long time, the four people in the courtyard were afraid to avoid the great evil in the eyes of the world.
He felt the weakened aura of the old eunuch Huang almost no different from ordinary people, and his heart was really a human dying person, and his words were good, and he nodded and said: "I don't have any skills, but the knife is quite sharp." ”
Huang Qingshui nodded, smiling happily: "Thinking about it this way, the child I accepted today is not developed enough and has more than enough success, and there will be someone to send me to the end when I come." As for Yanchan, I'm afraid I won't have this blessing. ”
The courtyard fell silent for a while.
In the distance, the sound of three silent whips came, the bells and drums rang in unison, and the Baiguan Mountain shouted.
The Son of Heaven is approaching, and the great court meeting after the twilight rain and flowers has begun.
