Chapter 259: On the shore of the Erhai Lake
On the shore of Erhai Lake, everyone walked and chatted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
And Yi Dan, who was walking behind, couldn't help but ask Chen Yunsheng, "Brother Chen, how did you get acquainted with this Brother Duan?"
Chen Yunsheng said: "Brother Siping and I are both down-and-out aristocrats, Brother Siping herded sheep in the mountains when he was a child, and it just so happened that my family also lived nearby, so we have known each other since childhood." ”
Duan Siping heard Chen Yunsheng's words, and hurriedly answered: "Yes, my ancestor was originally from Wuwei County, Hexi, and later moved to Nanzhao, and he was also prosperous for a few years, and then he was down. I was a few years older than him, and I took him with me every day to herd sheep and catch fish, and it was very pleasant to think about it. ”
Chen Yunsheng said with a smile: "Yes, but later, Brother Siping, you worshiped the master and concentrated on practicing martial arts, so we rarely got together." ”
Everyone walked and chatted, talked and laughed, and after a while, they came to a quaint house on the shore of Erhai Lake.
Chen Yunsheng asked, "Brother Siping, may I ask what kind of place is this?"
Duan Siping said: "This is my master's former residence, after his old man passed away, no one will live in it anymore, it's very safe, everyone go in." ”
After everyone entered the door, Chen Yunsheng said, "Brother Siping, this is where your master lived back then?"
Youming asked, "Brother Duan, it turns out that your master is a monk?"
Duan Siping said: "That's right, back then, my master went from Shaolin Temple to Nanzhao to promote Buddhism, and was canonized as the Heavenly Master of the Kingdom by King Nanzhao, but he didn't accept it. ”
Youming asked, "Why?"
Duan Siping said: "Because his old man doesn't want to live in that temple built with the blood and sweat of slaves. He said that the palaces and temples built with the blood and tears of the people, no matter how brilliant they were, were all sinful. So he built such a house on the shore of this Erhai Lake with his own hands, so that he felt a little more at ease. ”
Yi Dan said: "So that's the case, no wonder his old man doesn't live in a monastery, but lives by the Erhai Lake, with secular people." ”
Duan Siping said: "My master, whether it is martial arts cultivation or Buddhist attainments, is already unparalleled, he always said to me, as long as you keep your heart to goodness, hold your heart to the Buddha, no matter where you live, you can practice." ”
Yi Dan said: "The master's state of mind is so high, he really deserves to be a master of heart." ”
Chen Yunsheng looked around and asked, "Then who is taking care of this house now?"
Duan Siping said: "I come back to live occasionally to remember the master and his old man, and there is no one else." ”
Chen Yunsheng said: "I really didn't expect you to clean this place so cleanly." ”
Duan Siping said: "Where Master has lived, how can you let it be dirty?"
Shun Yu glanced at the clean room and nodded with satisfaction to Duan Siping, who also responded with a smile.
Walking to the hall of the inner room, there is a big Buddha sitting in the middle, and there are three oil lamps still lit under the lotus platform.
Chen Yunsheng asked, "Brother Siping, are you still continuing to worship the Buddha?"
Duan Siping said: "Yes, this oil lamp was personally lit by my master before his death, and it has not been extinguished until now, and I will always guard this oil lamp, add oil regularly, and not let it go out." ”
When Shun Yu saw the Big Buddha, he stepped forward and folded his hands, closed his eyes and worshiped the Buddha silently.
At this time, Siping asked Chen Yunsheng: "Brother Yunsheng, you haven't told me yet, how did you meet the princess?"
Chen Yunsheng said: "Oh, together with Yao Xiu, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, I went to Annan to find the whereabouts of the princess. But after looking for a long time, I didn't find the princess. ”
Duan Siping said: "What about later?"
Chen Yunsheng: "Later, I met Miss Yi's sister and brother in Annan, and we hit it off at first sight, and we also helped Annan retreat from the army of the four countries together. ”
Duan Siping patted Chen Yunsheng's shoulder and said with a smile: "With you, you kid has a future." ”
Chen Yunsheng said: "I didn't make any efforts, mainly Miss Yi, she is strong in martial arts, and she captured the enemy commander among the ten thousand troops." There was also a group of martial arts masters to help, and the situation was calmed down. ”
Duan Siping said to Yi Dan: "I didn't expect the girl's martial arts to be so high, I admire and admire it." ”
Yi Dan said: "It's just a small skill of carving insects, Brother Duan, you are smiling." ”
Duan Siping said: "Can you capture the enemy marshal among the ten thousand troops, can you still be a carving insect skill? Girl, you are too modest." I, Duan Siping, admire people who are strong in martial arts and are also humble, please accept Duan Mou's worship. As he spoke, Duan Siping respectfully saluted Yi Dan.
"Oh, don't don't, Brother Duan, please don't be polite. Yi Dan hurriedly picked up Duan Siping's hands.
Chen Yunsheng said: "Later, we learned that the princess lived in seclusion in the forest of Mannai Road, and Yao Xiu led people to kill her, in order to protect the safety of the princess, we could only follow Yao Xiu all the way. There was no accident later, and Yao Xiu himself suffered the consequences. ”
Duan Siping: "The princess hasn't encountered any danger, has she?"
Chen Yunsheng said: "Brother Siping, don't worry, the princess is also a master of Tianzhu Yuga Gong, that Yao Xiu failed to hurt the princess, don't you think the princess is good now?"
Shun Yu said: "Thank you Siping Daxia for your concern, I met Siping Daxia Pingshui, I am really flattered to have you so caring." ”
Duan Siping said: "Princess, what are you talking about? I think back then, my Duan family has also received the kindness of Nanzhao for generations, and has never repaid it. Knowing that the public was living among the people, Duan also had the idea of looking for the princess many times, but there was a vast sea of people and he didn't know where to find it. Fortunately, with a good brother like Yunsheng, I finally got my wish, and I am worthy of the kings of Nanzhao. ”
Shun Yu said: "Thank you Siping Daxia, hey, don't mention the past." I'm not a princess either, I just want to worship the Buddha and practice and live an ordinary life. ”
Duan Siping asked, "Oh, by the way, princess, may I ask why you came to Yang Tho City this time?"
Shun Yu said: "Come to my relatives, listen to Chen Daxia, there are still people in my Nanzhao royal family who are slaves." I want to find them and save them from suffering. ”
Duan Siping said: "Hey, at the beginning, Emperor Changhe claimed to have disposed of more than 800 members of the Nanzhao royal family. In fact, more than 300 people were thrown into slave camps. The dead are dead, the crippled are crippled, and I don't know how many are left now. ”
Shun Yu said: "No matter how many are left, I have to rescue them." ”
Duan Siping said: "Okay, if the princess doesn't dislike it, I'm willing to serve the princess." ”
Shun Yu said: "Then thank Siping first." ”
Duan Siping said: "Where is this, I have been practicing martial arts hard since I was a child, and I wanted to reimburse my family and country." But now this Changhe Emperor is arrogant and lascivious, and he can't support Adou at all. When he first ascended the throne, he attacked Shu with reckless force, and after the failure, he ignored the government and began to indulge in elixir for immortality. I think this south of the clouds is also hopeless. It's hateful, it's a pity. ”
Chen Yunsheng said: "Brother Siping is right, now this country has been wasted to the point that it is not what it looks like, and the war against Shu State rashly used troops a few years ago ended in a complete defeat, and finally the whole army was wiped out. In a hurry, the emperor brought in all the national slaves in the country and built a palace wall for him to prevent the army of Shu from coming. ”
Shun Yu said: "If the Shu army really fights, no matter how high and thick the palace wall is, it will not be able to keep him safe." Such a simple truth, don't you understand it?"
Duan Siping said: "Hey, we all understand this truth. Besides, he thought that all the state slaves used to build the palace walls were state slaves, and the state slaves were all death row prisoners, and there was no cost, and they had no impact on the common people, so he persistently did it.
