Chapter 019: I Am Hanmin

Leave the tomb of King Wu.

Xiao Rui took his killers and went straight back to Shanyang and returned to the back of Fugui Building.

Xiao Rui locked himself in his room, thinking about what had happened to him.

The establishment of the Bloody Cloak Building, and then to its current scale, is because the Bloody Cloak Mansion has not touched the interests of the family and the sects. And Xiao Rui's self-righteous concealment has become a matter of course.

And those things on his face were also very hidden, but when he heard Wang Yue's words, he realized that this was a ridiculous joke.

Cover your ears and steal the bell.

...

This is not the first time Xiao Rui has this view, but the third time.

I thought about it for a long time.

Xiao Rui has a quantitative understanding of the influence of the family and the sects.

Xiao Rui is not sure how many of his subordinates are embedded guests.

Suddenly.

Xiao Rui thought of Xiao Zhou, his so-called uncle, and Kong Wei.

Lanling Xiao, Beihai Kong.

What kind of role do these people play behind him, Xiao Rui no longer believes that it is his unparalleled luck that has created today's situation.

Xiao Rui wants to break the game, but only if he understands the crux of the problem.

The impact of the Wuwang Tomb incident on Xiao Rui is not insignificant, he was driven like a chess piece, showed his face, and played a pot of soy sauce.

Then he received a box lunch, and in Xiao Rui's opinion, how ironic this is.

It is also unacceptable to him.

Early the next morning.

Xiao Rui left Fugui Building, and he did not make any more arrangements for the things in the building. Sometimes, it is also an attitude to respond to all changes with the same.

Leave Sanyo.

Xiao Rui went directly back to Luoyang, the imperial capital. There, there were answers he was desperate to know.

From Shanyang to Luoyang, the fast horse walks alone, and it takes almost half a month.

When Xiao Rui came to Bishui Pass, the news that Ma Yuanyi was divided into five horses in the Luoyang Bazaar had spread all over the world.

Zhang Jiao and others, who were in Jizhou, had also reacted, and the vigorous Yellow Turban Uprising in history broke out.

Standing on the bank of the Bishui River.

Xiao Rui looked at the weeping willows that already had green on the shore, and suddenly thought of Wang Anshi's famous poem.

Jingkou Guazhou is a water, Zhongshan is only separated by a few mountains.

The spring breeze and the south bank of the green river, when will the bright moon shine on me.

Although this poem is a little different from the scenery here, when will the bright moon shine on me, it exhausts the deep sorrow in Xiao Rui's heart.

After passing the water, Xiao Rui walked towards Luoyang non-stop.

Because of No. 1, Xiao Rui did not swagger into Luoyang, but simply flipped over and went directly to the mansion of Xiao Zhou, the head of the Xiao family.

Today's Xiao Mansion is a little different from the past, and it always gives people a feeling of depression.

As soon as Xiao Rui arrived outside the door, before he could speak, he was directly welcomed into the mansion by the chief steward of the Xiao family.

"Childe, please come with me, the head of the family is waiting for you in the study. ”

Hear the words.

Xiao Rui glanced at the old butler with slightly narrowed eyes and asked, "How did uncle know that I would come?"

"I don't know. ”

Xiao Rui listened to this concise answer, and the doubts in his heart were even worse.

Outside the study, the old housekeeper bowed to Xiao Rui and retreated silently.

And in the study.

But there was a faint sound of conversation, Xiao Ruijian frowned slightly, held back the shock in his heart, and knocked on the door of the study.

"Who?"

Xiao Zhou said elegantly and gently.

"Uncle is me. ”

Xiao Rui replied.

"Come in!"

...

Xiao Rui gently pushed open the door and walked in with a heavy face.

In the study.

In addition to Xiao Zhou, there is also a bald monk who is over sixty years old, and Xiao Rui can clearly feel the unfathomable power of this person.

What surprised Xiao Rui even more was that this old monk was not from the Han Empire, but the famous Ah San in later generations.

That is, now the Mauryan Dynasty.

After the old monk saw Xiao Rui, he smiled modestly: "Amitabha, you must be the Xiao Shaoxia mentioned by Xiao Jushi! ”

When Xiao Rui heard this, he said: "This master is serious, Xiao is ashamed. ”

Then.

Xiao Zhou interjected: "Rui'er, let me introduce you, this is a high monk from the Peacock Dynasty. ”

When Xiao Rui heard this, his face was slightly gloomy and he said: "This master, as far as I know, your country is being attacked by the Kushan Empire at this time, how can you have time to come to my Han Empire to promote your Buddha." ”

When the old monk heard this, he said: "The Buddha knows no borders, and there is always a fixed number in the world, and it is not something we can control." ”

Xiao Rui glanced at Xiao Zhou, who had a somewhat bad face, and asked, "I don't know if the master and my uncle are waiting for me here, I don't know what it is for." ”

The old monk said, "Wait for you to ask what you want to ask." ”

When Xiao Rui heard this, he said, "Doesn't the Buddha care about the things of the world?"

The old monk said: "The Buddha's compassion still has Vajra's angry eyes, and the practice of compassion should also have the Dharma Protector Vajra to perform the liberation method on his behalf." ”

When Xiao Rui heard this, he suddenly smiled and said, "What the Buddha said is right. ”

Seeing this, Xiao Zhou hurriedly stopped: "Rui'er, you have gone too far." ”

When Xiao Rui heard this, he said: "I'm heartburn enough, what does the master want to do, just say it, don't beat around the bush, it's very boring." ”

The old monk said: "What Xiao Shaoxia said is that my Buddhism can support Xiao Shaoxia's forces and help you win the world." ”

Xiao Rui said: "All the sects in the world, who I choose is not good, why do I choose you as a foreign sect." Also, the Han Empire will not be the next Mauryan Dynasty. ”

When Xiao Zhou heard this, he stared at Xiao Rui with a somewhat ugly face, but in the end he couldn't help but speak.

When the old monk heard this, he smiled and said: "Xiao Shaoxia doesn't accept my Buddhism's help, who else in this world will help you." ”

Xiao Rui stared at the old monk for a long time, and he suddenly thought of the inseparable relationship between the Lanling Xiao clan and Buddhism during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

In an instant, there was some rejection in my heart.

Xiao Rui said: "I just want to ensure that the Xiao family can survive in the troubled times, and what your master said about winning the world, it is a little too much, my Xiao family originated from Gaozu, because of the ancestor Xiao He and inherited to this day, there are some things that I dare not forget, that is, I am Hanmin." ”

When the old monk heard this, he said with a gloomy face: "Without the help of my Buddhism, I am afraid that everything you have will turn into dust and disappear." ”

Xiao Rui asked rhetorically, "So what?"

The old monk stared at Xiao Rui with slightly squinted eyes for a long time, then turned to Xiao Zhou and said, "Xiao Jushi, you think about it, if you agree with my Buddhist opinion, send someone to explain it to me." ”

After speaking.

got up and left the study, Xiao Zhou got up and sent him away, returned to the room, and stared at Xiao Rui silently for a long time.

He said to Xiao Rui with a smile: "You are very confused?"

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "I want to know what kind of role my uncle is playing." ”

Xiao Zhou said: "Although Buddhism is weak, its growth is very strong, and it can be invested, of course, I am not optimistic about it at the moment, and what you want to know is actually as you think." ”

Xiao Zhou's words, although they were not specified, had already given Xiao Rui the answer he wanted.

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Rui said, "I want to know the specific content, otherwise I would be too passive." ”

Xiao Zhou smiled when he heard this: "Yes." ”
