Chapter 71 The peach blossoms are still the same
After Mao Zheng left Lingzhou, he went all the way to the customs. He came to Yanzhou www.biquge.info wanted to visit Shen Kuo, but after inquiring, he learned that Shen Kuo had been demoted because of the failure of the summer season, and he was no longer here. Mao Zheng went to look for the seed again, and the seed was always depressed because of the defeat in the war, and now he is bedridden. Not long after, Zai also died of illness.
Mao Zheng once followed the seed to fight, so he helped take care of the aftermath of the seed brother, but after everything was settled, he said goodbye to the Zhong family and planned to go back to Jinling.
"My father's greatest concern during his lifetime was how to recover the lost territory in the northwest, and a few days before he died, he also wrote to the saint, planning how to defeat the Li clan. When my father took his last breath, he still took my hand and told me not to forget the hatred of the country and the family. Brother Mao, my father has always praised you for being not only smart but also courageous, so it's better for you to stay, and let's do a good job together. When Chong Jianzhong, the son of Chong Ge, was leaving, he said to Mao Zheng.
"The things in the northwest are also things I can never forget. I don't need to say anything about it, I will definitely contribute. But I've been out for more than two years, and I miss my hometown very much, even if I don't achieve anything, I should go back and report safety. Mao Zheng said.
"Brother Mao's ability is obvious to all, you are just unlucky, as long as the time comes, you will definitely be able to do a lot. It is also appropriate to report peace to the family, this is a little entanglement I prepared for you, brother, you can accept it. As he spoke, he ordered someone to bring some silver taels.
"It's true that I don't have enough in this body, so I won't shirk it. In the future, if the big brother has a place where I can get Mao Zheng, I will definitely be willing to serve the big brother. Mao Zheng took the silver and thanked him.
"Who is our brother, and we will fight side by side in the future. Chong Jianzhong patted Mao Zheng's shoulder and smiled.
After Mao Zheng said goodbye to Chong Jianzhong, he rode all the way south. Looking at Shen Kuo and Chong Ge, two old people, one is gone and the other is dead, Mao Zheng's heart is also very uncomfortable. He just hoped that all the people over there in Jinling would be well.
Mao Zheng had a very complicated mood on the way back, he wanted to see Wen Xiaohui, Wen Yuan and others quickly, and wanted to relive his carefree life in the past, but on the other hand, he was sad and ashamed in his heart. He came out with ambition more than two years ago, and now he is returning empty-handed, and he is also very uncomfortable.
"It's all my dearest people, and I should go back and tell them that they're safe. It's not a shame to lose my face in my own home, but after I report my peace, I'll come out again. Mao Zheng gritted his teeth and thought, but unconsciously slowed down his speed.
From the northwest to the south of the Yangtze River, if you speed up, it will take about two months. But Mao Zheng didn't come to the vicinity of Jinling City until the spring of the seventh year of Yuanfeng. He didn't dare to go in the direction of his old residence immediately, but came to the Mid-Levels Garden. It was only to his surprise that a temple had been built in the Mid-Levels Garden.
"Didn't Wang Xianggong live here, why did this become a temple?" Mao Zheng found a monk and asked.
"Wang Xianggong? Oh, you can talk about Wang Anshi Xianggong. He has donated this place to our temple, and he has moved somewhere else. ”
"Then do you know where Wang Xianggong lives now?" Mao Zheng continued to ask.
"I don't know about this, but I moved away anyway."
After Mao Zheng asked, his heart just jumped on the ground, and his hands couldn't help shaking.
"Isn't everyone here? Am I coming back late?"
Mao Zheng hurriedly turned over and got on the horse, at this moment he didn't have any other thoughts in his heart, as long as he could see an old acquaintance, he was already satisfied.
When I came to Baoning Temple, the old Zen master had passed away. Mao Zheng felt dizzy in front of his eyes, his chest seemed to be pressed against a stone, he took a few steps back, turned over and got on his horse, and rushed towards Dongshan, where he had lived for more than ten years.
The four seasons in the south of the Yangtze River are like spring, the trees have always been emerald green colors, the spring breeze blows early, the plum blossoms fall, and the peach blossoms bloom.
The mountain path is still quiet, the small pavilion where I used to read is only peeling off some paint, the water is always so quiet, and the fish swimming in the water never know what sorrow is like.
Mao Zheng came to the place where he lived in the old days, and looked at the empty rooms that were no longer inhabited, and his heart became empty. Finally, the backlog of sadness couldn't hold back any longer, Mao Zheng knelt in front of the house and cried bitterly.
"Everybody's gone, why did I come back? I shouldn't have been out there for so long, I should have come back sooner. Mao Zheng cried and muttered to himself, it was not that he was not strong enough, but when he flew back tired, he found that he had no place to go.
After crying for a while, Mao Zheng sat on the ground and looked up at the sky in a daze, where does life belong, what is the meaning of living, without acquaintances, what is the use of that so-called face?
Just when Mao Zheng was in a daze, suddenly footsteps sounded from behind, Mao Zheng hurriedly got up and ran over, and after a look, it turned out to be two monks. was overjoyed, and Mao Zheng couldn't help crying again.
And these two monks are the true character and true music of Donglin Temple.
"Donor, do you live here, do you know there are other people around here?" asked Zhenle, stepping forward.
"There's no one, there's nothing. I'm the only one left. Mao Zheng just cried and said.
"Do you know where the people who live here have moved now?" said Maraku, pointing to the abandoned houses.
Mao Zheng just shook his head, choking and unable to make any sound.
"Senior brother, don't ask him again. If you look at him like this, he must have encountered something sad. Even though we monks are empty, we should also have compassion for all sentient beings. Zhenge said, patting Mao Zheng's shoulder.
Mao Zheng only felt a fresh breath, with a sense of warmth, which dispersed a lot of turbidity in his chest.
"Little donor, nine times out of ten unsatisfactory things in this world, you have to see everything. Just look at it, and everything will be fine. Zhenge said.
"Thank you for your advice, I know that life will go on. Mao Zheng wiped his tears and replied.
Zhenge said "Amitabha" and left here with Zhenle.
"Senior brother, after so many years, that spirit boy should be the same size as that young man. Do you think he could be the spirit boy we've been looking for?"
"Look at how much turbidity the little benefactor has on his body, at first glance, he has fallen into the Seven Emotions Tribulation. The talent of the reincarnated spirit child will not be bad, and he will definitely not fall into the Seven Emotions Tribulation. Zhenge shook his head and said.
"Senior brother is right, maybe I thought wrong. Zhenle folded his hands and replied.
