Chapter 364: Nursery Rhymes
The big rabbit is sick,
Two rabbits look,
Three rabbits buy medicine,
Four rabbits boiled,
Five rabbits died,
Six rabbits lifted,
Seven rabbits digging holes,
Eight rabbits buried,
The nine rabbits sat on the ground and wept,
Ten Rabbits asked him why he was crying?
The Nine Rabbits said,
The five rabbits are gone and will not come back!
Quiet room
Humming this weird and terrifying nursery rhyme softly, over and over again, an hour has passed.
According to past habits, at this hour, Dao Yan should have chanted to the three-faced jade Buddha here, but since he lost the jade Buddha, suddenly, he hadn't recited the scriptures for a long time.
After Ma Jiaji ran in the capital and Ganzhou, there was not enough time, and he had to give up his homework in the morning and evening, and after returning to Beiping, his seriously injured physical condition was like dead wood and rotten branches, and he had no time to take care of his homework on the sickbed. But his injuries had been healed for some time, and today, he seemed to have finally remembered his identity as a monk.
There was no Buddhist ring scar on his head, so his hair grew back. He wasn't a eunuch, so his beard had to stick out of his chin and be two inches long.
With a razor in his hand, he reverently restored himself to his original appearance, and an hour ago, Dao Yan came to the meditation room that belonged to him in the palace.
The Jade Buddha can no longer be placed in front of you, and the meditation room without Buddha is really more appropriate to call it a quiet room.
Dao Yan sat on the futon in a daze, in a daze. Suddenly remembering this nursery rhyme, he hummed softly. The brilliance in the triangular eyes was a little inexplicable, and when the sun was setting, he slowly melted into the darkness of this quiet room, and the song was still gently echoing.
"The big rabbit is sick, why do the five rabbits die? Why do the nine rabbits cry? What is the meaning of the existence of the ten rabbits?"
These four questions were asked to him on his fourteenth birthday when his master first sang nursery rhymes to him. He had always prided himself on being intelligent, but it took him three days to come up with an answer.
I thought that the master would be so happy, but it turned out that he was beaten with seventy-two rings, rushed to Suzhou Miaozhi Nunnery to sweep the tower, and worshiped an old monk who swept the floor in Tallinn as a teacher, and it is said that the old monk was the senior brother of his original master.
To this day, he still remembers the reason given by his first master: "Your heart is too evil and too poisonous." It's not a good thing, and I've led you down a bad path after all.
Since you can't comprehend good thoughts from the Confucianism and Taoism, then go to the Buddha and go to Zen. I hope that you will be able to comprehend compassion from the true teachings of Buddhism and bring blessings to the people of this world. ”
That's my ambition, right?
Dao Yan was strange, even a little angry. In the life he planned for himself, he would be in high school at the age of fifteen, as an official in the court, spend ten years as an official, and then spend another ten years to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, snatch the country back from the hands of the Mongols, and finally spend the rest of his life to benefit the world.
He will go down in history, and he will create an empire that no one has ever come before.
But because of one of his answers, an absolutely correct answer, he became a monk of the little-known Myozhian at the age of fourteen, and he was still the kind of sweeping monk at the bottom.
High-ranking officials and Houlu, the splendid future has nothing to do with him for a while, but it is the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha that has become his fate.
He hated, but he honestly settled down in that temple and became a real monk.
Farming, two meals in the morning and evening, chanting, fortunately, the new monk master knows martial arts and is willing to teach him, otherwise he really feels that he will not be able to survive.
Later, he happened to hear that his original master of the pedantic heavenly man had gone out of the mountain and began to help a beggar named Zhu Chongba fight the world. Although I don't understand why he chose to assist a beggar, that beggar is undoubtedly a shit luck, and the emperor is determined.
This is also evidenced by the last facts.
On the day Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, Dao Yan was still a penniless sweeping monk.
One day later, just when he felt that his heart was dead, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to gather the young monks of the world to pray for the princes.
Inexplicably, he was taken to the capital by an envoy from Beijing.
He saw the master who had abandoned him again, but it was only a cross-glance of eyes, and although the appearance of each other had become strange, he still recognized him, and he was sure that the other party also recognized him.
Maybe he didn't give up, but he still gave himself a chance.
Dao Yan knew in his heart that he should choose Zhu Biao, who was still the prince at the time, but he didn't.
The ghost sent the gods, and he said in front of Zhu Di, "If the king is willing to use me, the poor monk is willing to send a white hat to the king." ”
At that time, Zhu Di was very angry when he heard this, and then silently chose him as his prayer monk.
Soon after, he went to Beiping with Zhu Di.
On the day he left Nanjing City, in front of the imperial frame, among the civil and military ministers, he saw his master again, and for the last time, he almost abandoned himself. It was still just a glance at each other, but this time, he saw indifference, and disappointment.
Why are you disappointed?
Who but him can let me show my ambitions?
Where can I do it with all my powers?
When he was in Beiping, he wanted to write him a letter to vent the anger in his heart. But he couldn't, and he didn't dare.
The existence of the pervasive brocade guards, a letter is likely to make each other doomed.
After all, there was still no answer to these questions, and the doubts in my chest were finally held in my heart. He didn't get a chance to ask again, because he died.
One thought of the emperor, an understatement, his teacher died. Although at that time, he was already the first strategist in the world who was in the position of sincerity and was famous all over the world.
Dao Yan was sad.
And what God is best at is to make matters worse.
Immediately afterwards, his monk master also died, hacked to death by a group of so-called charlatans.
All this must be inseparable from Zhu Yuanzhang.
Dao Yan received a letter, which was his masterpiece.
A lot was written in the letter, a lot, but at the end it was written: May you be good for yourself.
What does it mean to be self-sufficient?
Dao Yan wanted to laugh.
There is resentment to revenge, there is revenge to revenge, do everything, do whatever you want.
This is his good self-doing, this is his good self-doing!
If you don't think about it, why don't you die quietly, and why do you give me this letter to tell me about the past?
The letter was burned by Dao Yan, turned into ashes, and sprinkled in his heart.
He will use the power of life to bring chaos to this world.
He wants to sacrifice his two masters with the blood of millions of people and avenge them.
In the same room, uncles and nephews cannibalize each other.
Your Zhu will be under heaven, and I will destroy him with my own hands.
This is Daoyan's oath.
