King Valan is a master of great talent, but his talent is not manifested in governing the country and the army, but in the bed.

Valan is a small place, and there are few resources to build a harem of 3,000 beauties for the king. Despite this, there are still more than 100 wives of King Valan, and the most terrifying thing is that these more than 100 people have all given birth to children.

Although the King of Valan has strong fertility, it still can't change the shortcomings of the Valans. On the map, as an independent country, Varan can only be like a four-legged snake, hovering in the shadow of the unicorn of the Great Song Dynasty.

Ten years after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, Nanzhao broke away from the royal palace of Valan and became a Miao Frontier by itself, and suddenly cut off a large part of Valan's power. The current Valan is not so much a country as a vassal that the Great Song Dynasty can destroy with a touch of a finger.

Nearly half of the forty-odd sons of King Valan were assassinated by other nobles before they reached adulthood, and those who grew up easily had to be sent out to guard the prefecture and county, and many were killed by mutiny.

Fifteen years ago, the prince of Valan went to the Great Song Dynasty to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and after returning to China, he mysteriously disappeared within a year, and the major tribes immediately heard the wind and attacked each other, putting the whole country in the flames of war. The current Valan can be said to be a group of dragons without a leader, and the day is precarious.

In the dining room, An Qing listened to Zhao Wu'an's background history while biting her chopsticks, while squinting her eyes at Princess Valan on the other end of the dining table. Although she is a princess, she is not pretentious, and she eats some coarse tea and light rice in the dining room of Jiuda Temple for the monks' stomachs, and she is also happy.

The scene in the meditation room just now is still vivid, and An Qing feels that her head is incomparably big when she thinks about it.

The exotic princess who was so fierce and hateful before that scared her was actually thrown into Zhao Wu'an's arms all of a sudden, crying loudly, until Zhao Wu'an touched her head and coaxed her for a long time, and then barely stopped.

An Qing sighed and said, "How do you know so many princesses?" Princess Miao Jiang and Princess Valan, do you know the princess of the Great Song Dynasty?"

"I promise I don't know that. Zhao Wu'an chewed the steamed bun and said casually.

An Qing tilted her head and frowned, "Then what is the relationship between this Princess Valan named Duan Taoli and you? Why does she call you...... Brother Garan: Which eggplant and which orchid?"

"Before I went to Miaojiang, I went straight south. "These foreign encounters have nothing to do with leaf making, and Zhao Wu'an is not afraid to tell An Qing, "I strayed into Valan's territory." At that time, the civil war in Valan had just begun, and the people were relatively stable. I saw her crying in front of a Buddhist temple, so I went up to ask her, and she said that her father was gone, and when she left, she told her that she was going to become a monk. She chased her all the way out, and every Buddhist temple she saw on the road was looking for her father's traces. I told her, don't rush, take your time, you can find it one day. ”

Zhao Wu'an sighed: "At that time, how did I know that her father was actually the lord of Valan." As soon as this man left home, at least 100,000 people up and down Valan lived in no fixed place and were displaced. ”

An Qing bit her chopsticks and squinted her eyes, her eyes full of suspicion: "That's it, you told her a word or two ten years ago, and she threw herself into your arms like just now?"

Zhao Wu'an coughed dryly twice and looked away: "I have helped her find her for a while...... At that time, I was not sensible. ”

An Qing snorted: "At that time, you were more cute, so you wouldn't die without help." ”

"It's too lazy to be nosy, when will I die and not be saved?" Zhao Wu'an admired An Qing's ability to reverse black and white.

"If it weren't for the fact that the roasted sparrow was caught, you wouldn't have gone down the mountain to Qingdi Township. Until now, when it comes to this, An Qing is still a little angry.

Zhao Wu'an sighed, put down the steamed bun, and put his palms together and said, "I'll say it again, I'm roasting a gray sparrow." ”

An Qing shook her head and rolled her eyes.

But if you think about it carefully, the princess, who was supposed to be in the palace, worked tirelessly to find her father and emperor among the temples of all sizes in the world, and there was no need to say anything about the bitterness and suffering along the way.

She broke into the door before and asked why Zhao Wuan's attitude was so tough, and the reason is self-evident.

In this world, the blessings and misfortunes are cold and warm, and the human heart is unpredictable, how can a delicate girl walk in the meantime, how can she not cast a hundred refined steel with tenacity and indifference, wrapping this fragile and delicate body, in order to avoid being injured by the torrent of the world.

At that time, Princess Valan, named Duan Taoli, had already finished her lunch and walked to Zhao Wu'an's side. His cheeks were slightly red, and he asked softly, "I'm going to look for it in the west later, will you go?"

Zhao Wu'an said softly: "After so many years, you haven't given up yet." After searching for the temple in Valan, you have found the Central Plains?"

Duan Taoli's face was even more flushed, but he still shook his head seriously, and said shyly: "Jiuda Temple is different, I think there should always be some clues here...... A year before my father's disappearance, he had discussed Buddhism with the great Song monks at Jiuda Monastery, and it was since then that his temperament changed dramatically and he had the idea of becoming a monk. ”

Zhao Wu'an was stunned.

Lord Valan had personally visited Jiuda Temple, but he hadn't thought of this before.

Valan has been re-emphasizing Buddha for generations, and the country is full of Buddhist temples, but compared with the Central Plains, Valan's Buddhism still has some incomplete teachings. A year before his disappearance, the lord of Valan did personally go north to visit the Great Song Buddhism, in order to seek Buddhist scriptures to improve his country's teachings.

And the temple used by the Great Song Dynasty to receive him was Jiuda Temple.

At that time, Jiuda Temple, as a station for the envoys of the two countries, Zhao Wu'an did not know, but a few years later, when he stayed here, Jiuda Temple had indeed become a famous temple and became famous all over the world.

Zhao Wuxin hesitated for a moment, still concerned: "Valan Country Middle School is in flames at the moment, how can you run so far?"

"The royal brothers attacked each other, and there was no time to take care of the princesses for a while, so I ran out. Duan Taoli sighed softly, and his tone became firm again, "If you can't find your father to go back to the overall situation when you come out this time, I'm afraid that the Duan clan of Dali will not be able to escape the fate of the country's ruin." ”

As she spoke, she looked at Zhao Wu'an with spring in her eyes: "Brother Jialan......"

Zhao Wu'an pushed away the chair, stood up without saying a word, and abruptly interrupted Duan Taoli's words with action. Duan Taoli was stunned for a moment, and a confused look appeared on his face.

"Not to mention anything else, even if you find your father, what should he do if he doesn't want to go back with you?" Zhao Wu'an turned his face slightly, narrowed his eyes, and looked at her.

Duan Taoli opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

"What's more, Valan's subjects are in the middle of fire and water, and the king has not yet appeared, do you really think that with your strength, you can find him?"

Duan Taoli froze on the edge of the table. Zhao Wu'an exhaled the turbid air in his mouth lightly, and left the dining room with his back on his back without looking back.

There were tears flashing in Duan Taoli's pupils.

An Qing frowned, dropped her chopsticks and chased out. Zhao Wu'an hadn't gone far yet, she stretched out her arms and stopped in front of him.

"Why are you saying such hurtful things?" An Qing asked.

Zhao Wu'an glanced at her and said lazily: "I thought you were a person who knew me well." ”

An Qing was stunned.

Zhao Wu'an bypassed An Qing, who was stunned, and walked forward.

Not far after I walked out, I met Hongning who was cleaning the courtyard. As soon as he saw him coming, Hongning was so frightened that he dropped the broom and turned around and ran, and did not stop until he ran to the base of the wall, looking like he had seen a ghost.

"None...... Wuan, how do you ...... came out...... "Obviously he is a senior uncle, but Hongning doesn't dare to talk to Zhao Wu'an loudly."

Yesterday, I would gather in Zhao Wu'an's ear to tell him about what the abbots had seen and heard in Shu, and after a night, Zhao Wu'an had become an unreachable evil ghost in Hongning's eyes.

Zhao Wu'an didn't pay attention to Hongning at all, and walked back to his meditation room by himself.

The broken iron lock still remained by the door, and the room was four feet square, simple but warm.

Putting the sword box back on the edge of the bed, closing the door, and closing the latch, Zhao Wu'an sat at the table, staring at the crack left by the dagger on the wall in a daze.

couldn't help but recall Duan Taoli's call, "Brother Jialan", and his crisp voice was the same as when he was a child.

It's really funny to think about it, a princess, just because of an incomparably slim hope, is willing to brave the flames of war, walking through temples all over the world, putting away her weakness, using toughness as armor, and even losing the most popular spice smell in Valan.

Zhao Wu'an laughed to himself. Half funny, half self-deprecating.

Even if he looks stupid, Duan Taoli is no different from ten years ago after all, as always. But what about him, Zhao Wu'an? After experiencing the changes of the world, does he think he is mature, or does he fall into the abyss of sin?

Just sat down like this for a long time, the sunlight in front of the window shifted a large part, and Zhao Wu'an's thoughts flew wildly, silent.

After a long time, there was a knock on the door.

Zhao Wu'an didn't bother to get up, pinched the sword trick in his hand, waved it from afar, took off the door latch, and said lightly: "Please come in." ”

Someone pushed the door in. It's none other than the abbot of Jiuda Temple, Jixuan.

Zhao Wu'an bowed slightly: "I've seen the abbot." ”

Ji Xuan glanced at the lock on the ground that had been cut in two, knowing that it was the reckless Valans who did it, and didn't want to pursue it more, so he asked directly: "You have been confined for half a day, can you admit your sins?"

Zhao Wu'an said sincerely: "If it is said that the ontology descends on karma, it will naturally admit it. But other than that, Wu'an admits that he has no bloody karma and has never committed the crime of killing. ”

His expression was serious, and Ji Xuan's face was not good-looking.

Ji Xuan's face was distorted, trying his best to contain the fierce emotions in his heart, and said in a flat voice: "Compassion, I have passed away." ”

His voice was not loud, but it exploded in Zhao Wuxin's head like thunder.

Zhao Wu'an was stunned, his pupils widened suddenly, his hands behind his back, and his fists clenched.

Ci Xuan, Ci Wei, several abbots have just returned to Jiuda Temple for a few days, and they have been murdered.

These people are all his extremely respected uncles, Zhao Wu'an should have tried his best to find out the murderer, but this murderer led the disaster to him, repeatedly challenging Zhao Wu'an's patience, it was really hateful to grit his teeth.

Ji Xuan stared at him deadly, as if trying to guess something from his reaction, and said, "He was split by the shoulder with an axe used to chop wood and fell in the room." Hongning said, in the afternoon, I saw you walking in the direction of the mourning room. ”

Zhao Wu'an snorted: "Uncle Hongning again, I'm just going back to my room, can he be so suspicious?"

Ji Xuan said in a low voice: "Zhao Wu'an, turn back to the shore." Now that I have surrendered, I still recognize you as a layman of Jiuda Monastery. ”

Hearing Ji Xuan's words, Zhao Wu'an was stunned for a moment, then stood up quietly, picked up the sword box, and walked towards the door.

There was a flash of anger in his eyes.

Although Zhao Wu'an was obedient to his father-in-law Ji Xuan on weekdays, seeing Zhao Wu'an's expression at this time, Ji Xuan still subconsciously took a step back.

Zhao Wu'an walked to the door and almost met Ji Xuan's face.

He said in a low voice: "Abbot, whether you recognize it or not, I am a layman of Jiuda Temple. ”

"Somebody wants to frame me, no matter who this person is, I will find him out. Not to prove my innocence, but to see off Cixuan and Uncle Ci Wei, who have gone to the world of Buddha. ”

Zhao Wu'an passed by Ji Xuan, and said lightly: "You can't sit still now." I'm going to check on Uncle Ci's body, and I'll find out the real culprit and give you an explanation. So, stop thinking about keeping me in lockdown, I can leave this room even without the Valans. ”

Zhao Wu'an's eyes flashed with colors that Ji Xuan had never seen before, and said coldly, "Who does he think I am?"

Ji Xuan frowned, and stopped talking.

The wind blew the young man's clothes and the broken hair on his forehead, and he resolutely moved forward with his back box, his back was like a phoenix flapping its wings, never returning, and Nirvana had to be reborn.

The boy said. "I'm Zhao Wu'an. ”
