Volume 1 Dali Fengyun 40 People's hearts are unpredictable, it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, and the future is uncertain, how to know the good and the bad
Xiao Yi has seen this feather arrow many times, at such a moment, how can he let this person succeed again. Xiao Yi stood the black stick on his chest and stood in front of the prince. As soon as he stood still, the feather arrow had already hit the body of the black stick. Xiao Yi flipped backwards with the black stick, collided with the prince, and flipped over again, before unloading the arrow. How did he know that another feather arrow was silently approaching in front of him, and Xiao Yi saw that the prince was about to be shot through, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he pounced. This is not trivial, the white green boy Lu on the roof shouted anxiously, but no matter how loud the shouting is, it will not help. The feather arrow had already passed through Xiao Yi's body, and the arrow remained in the prince's abdomen, and the two were strung together face to face by this arrow, so intimate.
Ye Feng's ears vibrate, and then shouted,
"Fan Mei, stop!"
The female voice replied with a cry,
"Brother Feng, I've been looking for you for ten years, but you are yelling at me like this! Hmph, then I'll kill all these boys!"
Ye Feng said angrily,
"Are you still so temperamental, this is my apprentice, if you have the guts, kill me. ”
When the woman heard this, she put down her feather arrow and sobbed softly.
Tong Lu Baiqing jumped off the roof one after another and ran towards Xiao Yi in a pool of blood. Monk Hongwu listened to what Ye Feng said, and knew that he didn't put the Dali rivers and lakes in his eyes at all, so he tied the old monk's elbows with a cloth belt, picked up the ring stick and rushed towards Ye Feng. Ye Feng was able to hear it, and laughed softly,
"Master Hongwu, are you so hospitable?"
Monk Hongwu sneered,
"There are not many people who know about this, and you must have done something from it! And that woman is with you, there must be a conspiracy between you! I have thought it through, you have suffered for the past ten years, and you have thought of taking revenge with the lives of all the people in the rivers and lakes of Dali! No wonder you have been so diligent in those days, just to dispel the doubts in my heart and listen to your call! All this is because of you, the monk will make such a big mistake and kill these thousands of compatriots, and today he will definitely have a life and death with you, a Song thief!"
Ye Feng chuckled,
"Master Hongwu himself has done something wrong, is he going to frame others, it's ridiculous! I think you're even more blind than me! But then again, if you want to deal with you, I'm afraid I won't need me to make a move, if you want to fight, I don't have the kung fu to accompany you, hahahaha. ”
Suddenly, two black shadows jumped up to the roof, and the person who came was wearing a night suit, and it was indeed not easy to be noticed when he disappeared into the darkness. The two came to Ye Feng's side, clasped their fists together, and only heard one person say,
"The Lord asked me to find your whereabouts, for ten years, everything is ready at this moment, and this will escort Feng Ye home. ”
Ye Feng smiled slightly,
"What do you call them?"
One said,
"In the lower hidden one-three. ”
The other person was stunned for a moment, and then said,
"Hidden in the lower four. ”
The voice was like a female voice, but it was a little strange.
Ye Feng laughed and said,
"You have such treatment! Your lord is too polite! But let me say a few more words to the apprentice. ”
He shifted his head and face in the direction of the crowd and shouted,
"Xiao Yi, remember my words, the rivers and lakes are dangerous, don't be reckless. Green girl Lu boy, you remind him more. If it's fate, we'll see you again. ”
Tong Lu Baiqing looked back at Ye Feng, his face full of doubts. The Hongwu monk was paralyzed on the ground, afraid that he was drugged by the two just now. Ye Feng laughed and disappeared into the darkness with the two of them. The samurai looked at each other, but none of them chased after them.
I saw a woman in red jump on the roof where Ye Feng was standing before, and shouted angrily,
"Brother Feng, you wait for me, just listen to you in the future, you wait for me!"
After speaking, she was about to fly into the darkness, but she noticed the little monk curled up on the ground, she grabbed the little monk, threw it down, and threw it into the arms of the monk Hongwu. The woman in red smiled wickedly and said to everyone,
"This little monk is the descendant of the old monk, you can do it yourself!"
After saying that, her figure flashed, and she also disappeared into the darkness. This woman is really a good person, and the more chaotic it is, the more she likes it.
Bai Qingtong Lu checked Xiao Yi's injury, although the injury was not light, but it was not life-threatening, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and then they were relieved. Xiao Yi was sweating profusely and couldn't speak, Tong Lu looked funny and quipped,
"Now you are amazing, you are saving the future emperor, and you will not be able to run away from glory and wealth in the future. When you are healed, you will definitely ask the emperor to invite us to eat and drink for three days and three nights in that 'wind and snow. ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince held back a sentence,
"No problem. ”
Xiao Yi couldn't hold back for a while, a mouthful of bloody phlegm sprayed onto the prince's face, and everyone was stunned for a moment, and then laughed in unison. The blood of the two injured people flowed in one place, which can be regarded as a lifelong friendship.
Several imperial doctors hurriedly came and treated their wounds with Bai Qing, Tong Lu stood aside and watched, and looked in the direction where Ye Feng disappeared from time to time. After the two were bandaged, the imperial doctor turned around to heal the old monk on the ground, who was bleeding too much and was a little dizzy. The sedan chair had already been lifted to him, and he was about to help the two of them up, when Monk Hongwu came to him with the center of the circle. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince signaled to hold off, looked at the center of the circle, looked at the old monk again, and sighed slightly.
Hongwu came to the old monk, asked Yuanxin to kneel, and said softly,
"Yuanxin, what that person said is true, this person is your grandfather, kowtow to him. ”
Yuanxin knelt on the ground, lowered his head, raised his eyes to look at the old monk from time to time, and finally called out weakly Grandpa, the old monk looked at him with a smile, showing a loving color. His voice was weak,
"Yuanxin, although you and I are related by blood, but we have never gotten along well, according to the characters in this temple, I am just two generations higher than you, you still call me a master uncle is the ancestor. ”
Yuanxin cried, he only knew that he grew up in this temple since he was a child, but he didn't know that there were still relatives alive, and what was surprising was that he was implicated with the emperor of Dali, he couldn't believe it for a while. The old monk looked at him and said softly,
"Senior Brother Hongwu, you can tell me all about the cause and effect, so that these two children can also understand. ”
Hongwu breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed,
"Well, I'll start from the beginning. ”
Xiao Yi was lying in Bai Qing's arms, he was actually smiling, he rubbed his head against Bai Qing's abdomen, Bai Qing blushed and his heart was beating, and he couldn't bear to push him away, so he had to bow his head shyly. Monk Hongwu raised his white eyebrows slightly, recalling,
"It has been forty years since I entered the temple, and at that time, Senior Brother Hongyi, that is, your uncle and grandfather. I also wondered why my senior brother was guarded, and later I realized that I was also upset for him. But the senior brother said that he didn't want to be the emperor, and it was good to be a monk, and I liked this senior brother who had no quarrel with the world. Forty years later, a few people still remember him. ”
Monk Hongwu paused, thoughtfully, and said,
"Life in the temple is monotonous, but it's not boring. I practice martial arts on weekdays, and my senior brother always watches from the sidelines, bringing me food to wipe my face, and I keep all these in mind. I have achieved great success in martial arts, and I have begun to have a resounding reputation in this Dali country, and my senior brother is really happy for me. Twelve years ago, it was logical to become the first of these precept halls. At that time, the master was still alive, and he accepted another disciple, who was given the Dharma name Hongdu, he was older, but I started earlier, and I became a senior brother. Later, I learned that this man was the terrifying demon of slaughtering the city. I was so angry that I was about to fight the man, but the master stopped him and said that he was willing to trade his life for the man's chance to mend his ways. Even my heart is at my disposal, and my attitude is kind. Although I was not angry, I swallowed this breath slowly. ”
Monk Hongwu looked at the place where Ye Feng disappeared and said slowly,
"Ten years ago, Lord Ye came to my Dali country, and when he saw me in the temple, he wanted to have a discussion with me. This person is strong in martial arts, I have never seen it in my life, and when I fought for thirty rounds, I was defeated, which made me know that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people. I really admire him. He was bold by nature, but he had a similar temperament to me, and we soon became friends. The only time in my life I broke the rules was when I drank with him and got drunk for a day and a night. ”
Hongwu sighed and said,
"For more than a year, Hongdu's brother is dedicated to the Buddha, and my attitude towards him has also changed greatly. It's been ten years, and the center of the circle has been in my temple for just ten years. On that day, Senior Brother Hongdu brought back a little boy, and the child couldn't walk yet, so it was the center of this little circle. Senior Brother Hongdu loves this child very much, and I am also happy to see it, so I asked the child about his origin. Brother Hongdu only said that it was a lost child in the neighborhood and did not tell me the truth. ”
"Master Ye Shi didn't know where to learn the origin of this child, maybe because of this, Senior Brother Hongdu had murderous intent, but he couldn't beat him upright, so he had to design a frame-up. The junior brother took away the uncomplaining hand lock and the black Yu chain, these two objects can trap the dragon and tiger, and they should be able to deal with the Shangye donor. The junior brother told Master Ye Shi his common name, and made an appointment with him to fight at the top of Namarone Peak, and said that there he had the means to cure the half-dead little white ape beside Master Ye. Within a few days, the two disappeared together, and nothing was heard from them. It wasn't until these seven days ago that Master Ye suddenly returned to my temple, and I was very surprised, and later told me how he was framed by Senior Brother Hongdu and trapped for ten years. I'm a little sorry, so I'll entertain him. Later, he inadvertently said that the center of the circle was the grandson of Senior Brother Hongyi, which really scared me a lot. I also found a record in the Tibetan scriptures left by Senior Brother Hongdu, and I was sure that this was the truth. Listening to Ye Shizhu, Concubine Ming was already pregnant with her senior brother's blood and bones, and gave birth to a son a few months later, which is Yuanxin's biological father. Yuanxin's biological father was frail and sickly, and he left only this one son, who died soon after. As for how Senior Brother Hongdu found the center of the circle, he couldn't get an answer from Master Ye, and Senior Brother Hongdu didn't leave any other clues. ”
He looked at Xiao Yi and the three of them, and said softly,
"Ye Shizhu has been living in the backyard since he came back, I often let Yuanxin take him to see me, Ye Shizhu said that since the senior brother is dead, he no longer holds a grudge, this matter will be stopped, will not embarrass us. I was ashamed, and I apologized to him, so that Yuanxin could serve well. Yuanxin is also sensible, and Master Ye also loves him very much. ”
"That day, Lord Ye talked to me and asked about the current form of this Dali Kingdom, and I explained it to him one by one. Later, he learned that this prince loved to do nonsense, and compared it with the good Yuanxin, and the Yuanxin was the grandson of the senior brother, so I consulted with him at a moment's notice, and he gave me some ambiguous suggestions half-pushed. I secretly met Lin Fan and gave him benefits, although Lin Fan was ruthless, he had no scheming, and he was moved by me, so he listened to my call. He contacted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on his own, and he also asked for many benefits over there. After that, I posted to all the major sect families, saying that I had captured Lin Fan and wanted to adjudicate with everyone, and I also specially instructed me not to spread the news to the outside world, so as not to let anyone come to the rescue. As I expected, with so many people gathered in one place, how could the royal family let it go. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is bloodthirsty by nature, and how glorious it is to contain the elites of the rivers and lakes in one fell swoop, and how can he let go of such a good opportunity and inevitably bring people here in person. As long as the prince appears, I will have the opportunity to take him down in one fell swoop. Lord Ye also told me where the more than 600 people who were not wiped out after the rebellion were located, and these people hated the Duan clan, so even if they died, they were willing, so the young and strong people became my pawns and used them for me. ”
Monk Hongwu looked at the situation of the warriors not far away disposing of the corpses, sighed, and continued,
"You all know what happened after that. It's all the fault of the poor monks, who killed so many good men. It is difficult for a poor monk to die to atone for his sins!"
Monk Hongyi blinked lightly and shook his head,
"The matter has come to this, and it is useless to regret it. ”
He looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and said softly,
"You are the only one who can comfort these undead, as well as their parents, wives and children, even if your uncle and grandfather beg you. ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wiped away his tears and replied,
"Uncle and grandfather rest assured, grandchildren know how to deal with it. ”
Monk Hongyi nodded slightly, and said,
"Go, your father is critically ill, go back soon, and maybe see him one last time." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded, looked back at Xiao Yi, and said softly,
"You are Xiaoyi, you saved my life, what do you want, if you can't remember it for a while, think about it and explain it to me in the future. Also, the 'Wind and Snow Moon', I have just responded, so it can be regarded as a gift. ”
He looked at the center of the circle again, reached out and touched his little bald head, and said with a smile,
"I didn't expect that I still have such a brother, it's so good. ”
He untied a gold medal from his waist and stuffed it into Yuanxin's hand, and said,
"Put this sign away, you want to see me in the future, you can enter the palace at any time. ”
Yuanxin looked dazed, the prince's face turned pale, and he said with a forced smile,
"Come, call my brother to listen. ”
Yuanxin looked at Monk Hongyi, then turned back to stare at His Royal Highness the Prince, and weakly squeezed out a word,
"Brother. ”
"Oh, my good brother. ”
The prince saluted several people with his fists, and then beckoned the guards to carry him back to the city in a sedan chair.
Xiao Yi listened, and his heart was also bitter. The three of them entered the temple with the master, but they didn't know what the master did, and this night, the rivers and lakes of Dali were miserable and bloody, and they were already greatly injured, and they were afraid that it would take another few decades to recover. Although he can save one person, how can he save all the people in the rivers and lakes. He suddenly felt how small he was, and thought about the bold words he had said before to make this river and lake less dead, and couldn't help but chuckle. Grandpa, the master, and many people have said that these rivers and lakes are going to die, and so many deaths are related to themselves. Xiao Yi's tears came out of her eyes, Bai Qing only felt cold, she knew that Xiao Yi was in pain in her heart, but she just gently stroked Xiao Yiqing's silk, but did not say a word.
After a while, Xiao Party B stopped, he looked up at the center of the circle, and said softly,
"Little monk, do you like to be a monk?"
The Yuanxin monk touched his bald head, looking very cute, he pursed his lips, wiped his tears, and said softly,
"I grew up in the temple, and of course I did. ”
Xiao Yi smiled lightly and continued to ask,
"If you were to be a monk for the rest of your life, would you be willing?"
The little monk didn't think about it, and blurted out,
"Of course I do. But my uncle said that being a monk can't guard the temple gate, so my ambition is to travel all over the world and purify all sentient beings. ”
Xiao Yi nodded,
"It seems that you and I have the same aspirations, but you are too young, otherwise you can be on the same path with us. ”
The Yuanxin monk blinked, and listened to Xiao Yi again,
"I have a string of Buddha beads here, a total of twelve, it should be the twelve immortal Buddha beads mentioned by Master Hongwu just now. I see that I have a fate with you, so you can take it. ”
Xiao Yi looked at the two masters, and the two nodded in agreement, and Xiao Yi took out the bead string and handed it to Yuanxin's hand. Yuanxin took the string of beads, played carefully, only to feel that the beads that came to find them were not amazing, but they felt very good, I don't know if there was still Xiaoyi's body temperature, in this winter night, the beads were actually warm. Master Hongwu looked at Yuanxin, his eyes were full of pity, and said softly,
"These twelve immortal Buddha beads are carved from 10,000-year-old yin wood, and because the wood is extremely scarce, there is only one string in the world. This yin wood grows in the extreme yin, and only the thickness of this bead is grown for 10,000 years, and it is really hard to make such a uniform string of Buddha beads. This yin wood is odorless, and the ornaments made of it are unchanged and insect-free, and extremely tough, warm in winter and cool in summer, very magical. ”
The little monk in the center of the circle looked at the Buddha bead in his hand and knew that it was such a treasure that he didn't dare to accept it. Seeing his appearance, Hongwu smiled slightly,
"If you have a fate, I will accept it, I hope you can be a good monk, not like me. ”
Master Hongwu sighed, his eyes darkened, and he looked at the Hongyi monk on the ground who had just exhaled his last breath, unable to speak for a long time. After a while, he asked for a torch, picked up the monk Hongyi in the other hand, and slowly walked down the slope. He lit the three giant haystacks in turn, looked at the many corpses, and sighed,
"You all died because of the poor monks, and I killed my brother, and the poor monks also know that the sins are heavy, and it is difficult to escape the blame for death, so let me go with you, and go down to the underworld to clear this old grudge. ”
The fire rose high and illuminated the mountain as if it were daylight. Hongwu looked up, blinked slowly, and then leaned over to pick up the body of Monk Hongyi, quickly rushed into the middle haystack, and quickly climbed to the top of the stack. The two monks sat opposite each other, the fire had ignited the robes, and the Hongwu monk remained motionless, as if he had not suffered. The monk in the center of the circle under the battlement shouted heartbreakingly, but was hugged tightly by Tong Lu. The monks around also knelt down one after another, crying together. These three big haystacks are like three pillars of incense, and they want to see off these thousands of people together. The two were caught in the fire and disappeared in a short time.
Xiao Yi and the three were sent back to the house by the monks, and the center of the circle was accompanied by the senior brother until the fire burned out, and Xiao Yi later heard that the two monks burned the relics, but they only heard about it. The corpses of thousands of people were not cleaned up until Tianming, and the mountain behind this Chongsheng Temple became an ominous place, and in the years since, even the monks in the temple have rarely come.
Xiao Yi stayed in the temple to recuperate, Tong Lu Baiqing waited on the side, from that day on, the temple became more and more cold, and there were only three Xiao Yi in the entire backyard, and there were no other pilgrims to stay overnight. The old emperor hurried away two days after the catastrophe of the rivers and lakes, and still failed to survive the year, although it was a national funeral, the new emperor did not make a big fanfare, which surprised the people in Dali City. This new year is coming soon, of course, not only the name of the year has been changed, the new emperor has ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, and the people in the city seem to have a more prosperous New Year.
More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the bright moon in the sky is the Lantern Festival. Tong Lu was bored in the temple, so he had to take the two of them to the Erhai Lake to watch the lanterns, Xiao Yi felt that his body was fine, so he and Tong Lu took Bai Qing together. The three of them came to the Moon Bay, where a large number of tourists had already gathered as if it were daytime, men, women and children. Many craftsmen started a business, selling all kinds of lanterns along the road, and most of them sold them at a fixed price, and few people bargained. Of course, there is also food, all kinds of snacks and snacks are available, children are scurrying around with delicious food, and adults follow behind for fear of losing the children. For a while, laughter continued, and the festive atmosphere became stronger. Xiao Yi saw this harmonious scene and was happy, so he also picked a few good-looking lanterns. The three of them came to the edge of Erhai Lake with a lantern, Bai Qing happily lit the candle, made a wish in his heart, and with a gentle push, the lantern slowly floated away, and finally became a small point. Tong Lu said that he wanted to light the sky lantern, so Xiao Yi paid for the sky lantern again. He saw that the two of them were so happy, and his heart was also happy, so he forgot to order one himself. In the Erhai Lake, above the sky, there are countless lanterns, and the bright moon and stars in the sky are compared.
At this time, a three-story boat came to the sea, the hull of the ship was decorated with all kinds of lanterns, colorful, dazzling, compared with the rest of the boats, it was a big thing. Everyone was amazed, and everyone showed envy on their faces. Tong Lu shook his head and sighed,
"Hey, those who can take this boat must not be ordinary people. Brother Xiaoyi, if we can find His Royal Highness the Prince, we may be able to go up and have a look!"
Xiao Yi smiled bitterly,
"I'm afraid that people have forgotten us a long time ago, let's put the lanterns and go back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a person appeared on the bow of the boat, and when Xiao Yi saw it, he remembered that it was the man who guarded the prince that night, and he was the only one who survived among the seven people. Xiao Yi just wanted to speak, but heard the man shout,
"Hey, you three, get on board and talk!"
Tong Lu said with great joy,
"Wait a minute, come right away!"
He pulled Xiao Yi Baiqing and said with a smile,
"Haha, it's fun. By the way, Brother Xiaoyi, when your injury is almost healed, we should also go to 'Fenghua Xueyue' to have a good meal." ”
The three of them rented a small boat and rushed up, connected to the side of the big boat, and climbed up. As soon as he entered the cabin, Xiao Yi was shocked,
"Xiao Lang, why are you here!"
