Section 603 The Mystery of Life
The old monk was not shocked or angry, and said with a smile: "The poor monk's name is Puzhen, and the jade flying dragon is the name of the poor monk before he became a monk. ”
Cao Dongli snorted coldly, "Monk, don't think that you are a monk, and the things you have done in the past can be written off." I've heard a lot about the trivialities of your youth!"
He now has three swords by his side, and he is several times more powerful than when he was bare-handed. If it weren't for the heart attack at this moment, he thought that he had the strength to fight with this famous Jade Flying Dragon.
The one-armed monk standing next to the old monk didn't speak at first, but at this moment, he was furious after listening to Cao Donglian's words mocking his master.
He strode forward, raised the hammer in his hand towards Cao Dongli, and shouted: "Don't you want to be confused, dare to be rude to my master, believe it or not, the hammer flattened you?"
The hammer in his hand was the size of a stone grinding disc, and the power of this hammer must be extraordinary, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to parry.
Cao Dongli didn't dodge, and said coldly: "You just come over!"
Seeing this, Pu Zhen hurriedly retreated from his apprentice, "Jing Si, don't be rude, hurry up!"
Monk Jingsi didn't dare to disobey his teacher's wishes, and after glaring at Cao Dongli vigorously, he stepped aside angrily.
Pu Zhen sang a Buddha horn and said to Cao Dongli and Lu Zhen in front of him: "The inferior people are rude and rude, and please invite the two donors Haihan!"
Cao Dongli didn't look at the old monk squarely, he looked at Ah Zhen beside him with pity, and then said coldly to the old monk in front of him: "Dare to ask what the master did when he suddenly appeared in front of the two of us, might as well say it directly?"
Pu Zhen sighed lightly, "The poor monk came this time, not for anything else, but to eliminate his past sinful karma!"
He walked up to Lu Zhen, clasped his hands together at her, saluted respectfully, and said, "There are not many people who feel that the old monk can't stand in this life, but the girl is one of them. “
Lu Zhen's eyes widened in surprise after hearing this, and she hurriedly replied: "Master, you and I have never met, so why don't you live with me?"
Pu Zhen shook his head slowly, "Wronged, wronged!"
He frowned, thought for a moment before he said, "If it weren't for me back then, your identity would have been a hundred times more noble than now." “
Lu Zhen smiled lightly, said a blessing to the old monk, and said with a smile: "The master is really a little girl, I am just an ordinary person born in the neighborhood, where can I have any noble status?"
Pu Zhen looked at the girl in front of him quietly, "The poor monk has a sentence that I don't know if to say?"
"Master, it's okay to speak!" Lu Zhen was full of respect for the elderly monk.
Pu Zhen didn't start talking immediately, but paced back and forth on the ground for a few steps, shaking his head and sighing.
After a long time, he made up his mind, turned back suddenly, and said: "Actually, the girl is not Lu Yi's biological daughter, you were born in the palace, I forced Lu Yi to accept you back then, and he was afraid of the reputation of a poor monk, so he didn't dare not agree to me, which caused today's tragedy." ”
"Master...... You mean, I was not born to my father, so who is my father and mother?" Lu Zhen's voice became trembling, and her spirit was hit several times in a day, and when she was haggard, her body was almost unsteady.
She thought to herself: "When my father was alive, he always treated me like a stranger, polite and cold to me, but he doted on his younger brothers and sisters so much, he longed to hold them in the palm of his hand and in his mouth, and often saw me envious and bitter, right...... Could it be that what this old monk said is true, and I have no blood relationship with my father?"
Cao Dongli hurriedly helped her up, "Ah Zhen, you are relieved, don't believe what he said." ”
Pu Zhen's expression was solemn, "What the poor monk said is true, I transferred you and my daughter to protect the safety of my own daughter. Your biological father is Emperor Yizong of the Tang Dynasty, and your mother is Empress Chunyuan. It's just because of the poor monk's thought back then that this has harmed you for life!"
"You mean, I'm the emperor...... "Lu Zhenzhi couldn't believe it, she had been a palace maid in the palace for several years, and she couldn't believe that she was as noble as the masters she served on weekdays.
"Yes," Puzhen nodded heavily.
"Old monk, you are talking nonsense! Ah Zhen, you don't have to believe what he said. Cao Dongli stepped forward to protect Ah Zhen behind him, "As far as I know, Empress Chunyuan died at a young age, and she was only in her thirties when she died. According to the living notes of the palace, she never had a man and a woman during her lifetime. ”
Pu Zhen smiled miserably, "The monks don't speak, Empress Chunyuan and her sister Concubine Dan entered the palace together to serve Emperor Yizong together. The person loved by the poor monk is the sister of Empress Chunyuan, Dan Guifei.
"The poor monk was still a Jiangyang thief who licked blood on the knife's edge, he was frivolous and rampant, and he stole into the palace every night with light skills, just to meet his beloved.
"Half a year after I met Concubine Dan, she was pregnant. In the palace with many eyes and ears, where can such a major event as the concubine's pregnancy be hidden. If the emperor knew that Concubine Dan had failed him, where would Concubine Dan survive. Concubine Dan was so frightened that she took several abortion pills in a row, but it had no effect.
"I was also panicked, thinking of taking her out of the palace with me, and from then on wandering the world and living a happy life. But Concubine Dan refused to live or die, just because she was born in a family of eunuchs, if she escaped with me, I was afraid that the emperor would punish her nine clans because of this, and her sister Empress Chunyuan would inevitably be affected by Zhulian and end up in the cold palace.
"In this way, I discussed with Concubine Dan for a long time, but I never had a serious idea. In the end, Concubine Dan had to come forward and confess to her sister Empress Chunyuan, and then discuss a plan to solve the dilemma. Although Empress Chunyuan hated Concubine Dan for being with me, she couldn't help but feel sorry for this sister, and at the same time, she had to consider the fate of the entire family.
"Empress Chunyuan said to Concubine Dan, 'Sister, in fact, I won't hide it from you, I happened to be pregnant with the emperor's dragon fetus in the past few days, and if God has mercy on us, he will let you and my child be born in about time. At that time, you sent the child to me, and I pretended to the outside world that it was twins, so that the crisis could be resolved.
After hearing this, the poor monk and Concubine Dan thought it was a clever plan, so they hurriedly agreed. Later, our child was born on the same day as Empress Chunyuan's child, and both children were daughters, so I hurriedly sent my own daughter to Empress Chunyuan's bedroom overnight. ”
Speaking of this, Pu Zhen looked at Lu Zhen in front of him apologetically, "At that time, I saw the infant Zhen for the first time, and he was very cute. That night, in order to facilitate me to quietly send the baby here, Empress Chunyuan deliberately removed all the attendants at the bedside. And she herself was overworked during childbirth, and she was already asleep at the moment.
"I looked at the Lord Zhen in the shaker, and then at my own daughter in my arms, and for a moment I thought to myself: 'Even if I put my child here and use this princess as a twin sister, the appearance of the two girls is very different, and it may cause suspicion in the future, and Queen Chunyuan will definitely not treat her own child well. In order to ensure the safety of my daughter, and at the same time not let her be wronged, I might as well take this real princess and leave only my daughter here. In this way, my own daughter can be a real princess, and Queen Chunyuan's maternal love can only be given to her alone'.
