Daoxi's song "Eternal Happiness" made Lin Renzhao more intimate with him and became a confidant. It is difficult for a general like Lin Renzhao to accept such a national atmosphere.

As soon as "Eternal Happiness" came out, Lin Renzhao, who was middle-aged, suddenly recalled the arrogance of fighting on the battlefield when he was young. He grabbed Daoxi's arm excitedly and said, "Master Daoxi is a true hero!"

The little prince Li Zhongxuan also echoed on the side: "When Xiao Wang first met Master Daoxi, he was shocked by his talent, so he specially introduced General Yu today. ”

At this moment, a white-skinned little guy hurriedly rushed in, approached Li Zhongxuan and said, "Lord, the emperor has summoned you back to the palace." ”

"Do you know what my father summoned me?" Li Zhongxuan said in surprise.

The little guy peeked at Dao Xi and Lin Renzhao, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped. Li Zhongxuan didn't care and said, "But it's okay to talk about it. ”

Hearing the command, the little servant no longer hesitated, and said: "In the imperial history, Lord Cao Qiucao visited the prince early today, and said that the prince was at ease and happy, and did not want to forge ahead. Bixia was very displeased after hearing this, and asked you to go back to the palace to answer. ”

"Hmph!" Li Zhongxuan sneered, "Old Horseman Cao is too deceitful!"

After speaking, he arched his hand towards Daoxi and the two, "Two, Xiao Wang originally wanted to invite the two of them to get together in the mansion, but now he has to enter the palace to face the saint, if there is any discomfort, I hope the two of you will forgive me." ”

"It's important to face the saint, so go quickly. Lin Renzhao said.

"The prince is going, and the little monk also has something to do. "Daoxi has never wanted to get involved in the affairs of the imperial court, and now Li Zhongxuan is gone, and he can't ask for it.

Li Zhongxuan didn't say anything more, hurried out of the temple with the little servant, and went straight to the palace. As soon as he left, only Lin Renzhao and Daoxi were left. The two are a general and a Taoist priest, but they are also like-minded, and they have a sense of heroic sympathy.

Lin Renzhao wanted to invite Daoxi to his house to talk, but Daoxi refused because he wanted the order of the family teacher. Lin Renzhao didn't care, thinking about the long future, he said goodbye to Daoxi.

As soon as Lin Renzhao left, Daoxi went straight to the inner courtyard of Qixia Temple, looking for Master Chengming.

Looking for Master Chengming, Dao Xi presented the letter entrusted by the family teacher. Cheng Ming opened the letter and read it, but he closed his breath and silently recited a string of scriptures before he said to Dao Xi: "I didn't expect that Zen Master Yanshou had already taken a step ahead of me, but the poor monk didn't have to give him a ride." ”

The death of the master was a great blow to Daoxi, especially before the death of Yanshou, Daoxi's failure to stay by his side has always been an unforgettable pain in his heart. Cheng Ming's words at this time couldn't help but make Daoxi sad, and he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

"Master and nephew don't need to be so sad, the Pure Land that the Zen master returned to is what my Buddhist disciples have been asking for all their lives. Saying that, Cheng Ming looked to the west and said, "Amitabha."

"I don't know what the family teacher can explain to his disciples in the letter?" Dao Xi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked.

Cheng Ming nodded slightly, and said: "As mentioned in the Ling Shi's letter, there is an object that needs to be handed over to you, and you wait here for a while, and let the poor monk pick it up." ”

"Thank you, Master. ”

After Cheng Ming finished speaking, he turned around and walked into his bedroom, and after a while, he walked out with a brocade box in his hand. He put the brocade box in front of the table and said, "This thing is something that was entrusted to the poor monk for safekeeping five years ago when the Zen master returned to Tiantai Mountain. ”

"Does the master know what is in it?" Dao Xi stared at the brocade box, and couldn't help but think of the mystery of misrepresenting the "jade seal" back then.

Cheng Ming shook his head, "The poor monk has never opened it, but he doesn't know what it is, so today he will entrust it to your nephew, and forget it, but also fulfill the wish of the longevity of Zen Monk." ”

Daoxi took the brocade box, but he was also curious, he wanted to open it in person, but who knew that Chengming said: "Master and nephew, it is not early, the poor monk has arranged a place for the master and nephew to rest in the meditation room, and I will take you here." ”

Cheng Ming didn't want to know what was in it, Dao Xi nodded clearly, and followed Cheng Ming with the brocade box towards the Zen Monastery that entertained the monks who had stayed.

In the meditation room, as soon as Cheng Ming left, Dao Xi eagerly opened the brocade box. I saw a letter and a wooden fish in the brocade box. The wooden fish is brightly painted, lifelike, and very exquisite.

Daoxi didn't understand why the master would give him a wooden fish, and opened the letter suspiciously.

"Dao Xi Wu disciple, in order to know that your mind is not in the Buddha, so I left this 'meditation' wooden fish to you. The so-called 'meditation' is what the Buddha entrusted me with a dream and made later. One tone is to ask the heart, two tones to find the heart, and three tones to the heart. If I die, don't grieve. Under today's party, there are variables that are not for eternity, and the apprentices need to remember what the teacher said back then, and don't be greedy for fun, and need to use a body of martial arts, entrusted to the master, and think for the common people in the world. ”

A very short letter made Daoxi feel complicated. The reason why Yanshou accepted Daoxi as a disciple was because of the Buddha's dream. Dao Xi didn't know if this Buddha's dream was true or false, but the master had carefully cultivated and cared for him for five years, and for him, it was like regenerating his parents.

Although he has no lofty ambitions, since the master thinks that he is the person who responds to his dreams and wants to help the world by himself, then in order to repay the master's kindness, Daoxi has no choice but to agree.

Recalling the dream of the Buddha mentioned in the extension of life, it was said that the world was unified by the Zhao and Song dynasties, but there would be a catastrophe in it, which may disrupt the normal historical trend, and he was the one who was born in response to the catastrophe. The words about longevity are vague, what is the meaning of calamity, what kind of impact will it cause, and what role does it play in it?

Dao Xi thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. So he took out the wooden fish and knocked it casually, but there was no sound in this knock.

"It can't be broken, right?" Daoxi picked up the wooden fish and looked at it carefully, but there was no damage, so he knocked it hard again, but there was still no sound.

This ordinary wooden fish is very strange, no matter how hard Dao Xi uses, it can't make a sound. Dao Xi pondered for a while and decided to give it a try with internal force.

After five years of practice, although Daoxi's idealistic internal skills have not yet reached the level of longevity, they can be regarded as small achievements. He skillfully used his internal strength, and then knocked at the wooden fish again.

At this knock, the wooden fish finally made a sound, but the sound was very dull, like a small pebble falling into the water, making a splash.

Seeing that Muyu had a reaction, Dao Xi was overjoyed, knowing that this thing needed to be blessed with internal force. Although the voice is a little quieter, it may be because of his weak internal strength. So he gathered all the internal force of his body on his arm and knocked it again.

With this knock, the wooden fish made a "touch" sound, and then an invisible force stirred in the air, and it actually shattered the teacup on the table in an instant.

Good thing! Daoxi's eyes lit up, if he got a treasure. Daoxi has only practiced internal strength for five years, and it takes at least more than 20 years of cultivation to achieve the release of internal force, but with this thing, it is different, and in the future, you can only infuse internal force, and you can use this internal force to release it.

He was excited, but soon disappointed. Although the wooden fish can reduce his hard work for more than 20 years, the problem is that he can only knock the wooden fish once when he uses all his internal strength, and the power can only shatter the objects within a foot of the surroundings.

This is a chicken rib! Could it be that when you fight with someone, you don't dodge or dodge, and wait for someone to get close and then knock on the wooden fish? It is estimated that before the wooden fish rings, you will stop eating first.

Dao Xi put away the wooden fish in disappointment, if you want to really play the role of this thing, you still have to look at your own strength, or wait for the idealism to go to the next level, and it will be easy to use.

After living in Qixia Temple, Daoxi suddenly found that he had become a child without a home. Although as a monk, he would not be disliked by anyone when he went to any temple, but in short, it was not a place close to him, and he began to worry a little about his future.

Yanshou wants him to become a savior and resolve any calamity, but the question is that he is just a little-known little monk, and what ability does he have to be a master of saving the country and the people. Moreover, he couldn't figure out when the so-called catastrophe would happen.

However, he thought about it carefully later, and Yanshou didn't give the wooden fish to himself in person, nor did he ask Daofan to give it to me, but he had to go around such a big circle and let himself find Qixia Temple.

Or, the prolongation of life is calculated, you should come to Jinling, and this "catastrophe" of the Buddha's dream is likely to occur in Jinling. So Dao Fan searched and reviewed the pitiful historical knowledge of his previous life, and he didn't find any factors that could threaten Zhao Kuangyin's domination of the world.

Zhao Kuangyin destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was completely easy, after crossing the Yangtze River, the troops came to Jinling City, and Li Yu surrendered obscenely without much fighting. However, Dao Xi thought at this time that there was also a key person, Lin Renzhao.

Lin Renzhao is known for his strategy, although he is not like a god in the use of soldiers, but the defense of the Yangtze River has always been a problem for the Northern Jiangbei army. Could it be that this calamity refers to Lin Renzhao?

However, according to the development of history, before Zhao Kuangyin marched into the Southern Tang Dynasty, he used a counter-plot to send Lin Renzhao to Li Yu's guillotine, is there any variables in it?

Thinking of Lin Renzhao, the image of that hearty soldier appeared in front of Dao Xi's eyes again, aside from everything, Dao Xi admired and admired Lin Renzhao very much, if he really wanted to follow his master's orders, would he be his enemy?

Or, he should stay in Jinling, observe the situation, and if he has the opportunity, he should also contact the small court of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Bo made a name for himself, and revealed some military information to Song Jun by the way, so that he could go to Bianliang to seek refuge with Zhao Kuangyin in the future.

What is this called! Dao Xi sighed for causing so much trouble for no reason, and he could only blame why the old man Shui had left three red spots on his arm in the first place, so that he was now bound by an ethereal mission.

Daoxi thought about it again and again, and Zuihou still felt that what he should do now was to make a name for himself in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then go to Bianliang after the Southern Tang Dynasty died. There is only one person who can influence the unification of the world, and that is Zhao Kuangyin, as long as he doesn't live well before this, there will be no accidents. What you can do is to protect him closely. Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that what he really wanted to do was to become Zhao Kuangyin's bodyguard!
