Chapter 144: Confession
The Lingsha Hall is located on the Nine Dragon Peak, which is 100 zhang high, and it takes a long time to walk up it. For this reason, each disciple of the Lingsha Hall domesticated a delicate phoenix bird, which looked like a phoenix, but was smaller than a phoenix. The disciples of the Lingsha Hall all rode their own phoenix birds up and down the mountain.
Mo Xun and Fang Qiong took the princess and others to the mountain gate, and the two whistled towards the mountain. Soon two birds flew down from the mountain.
Fang Qiong touched the feathers of the delicate phoenix bird that fell beside her, and said sweetly to the princess: "Sister princess, you and I are both girls, just take my delicate phoenix bird up the mountain." ”
Now Princess Ziyou covered her hands and couldn't speak, nodded at Fang Qiong, and the two of them flew to the mountain peak on the Jiaofeng Bird.
Mo Xun sat on the back of his Jiao Feng Bird, looked at the other five men, and said embarrassedly: "Why don't you wait here first, and I will ask the senior brothers to ride the Jiao Feng Bird to meet you in a while?"
The older man walked out, and the other four were expressionless, silent and unaware of what was going on in their minds.
The older man looked at Mo Xun, shook his head and said, "No need, we just wait for the princess here." ”
Mo Xun looked at the man and thought, "These five people are really strange, it seems that they should be personal guards, why do you just let the princess out of his sight? ”
Mo Xun smiled at the man, patted the head of the delicate phoenix bird, and the delicate phoenix bird let out a long cry and flew towards the mountain with him.
At this time, the elder man's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said to the four beside him: "This is a great opportunity, and this is also the only chance left by the princess for us, so let's go and prepare." ”
"Big brother, take care!" the four men hugged their fists at the older man at the same time, then turned around and walked in different directions.
The older man looked at the peak and sighed lightly: "Kind princess, your great kindness to our Wang brothers will never be forgotten!"
With that, he left the place too.
......
There are five halls on Jiulong Peak, and the five halls are under the jurisdiction of the Lingsha Temple, which are built in five positions in the southeast, northwest, and northwest on the mountain peak. Among them, the main hall of Lingsha Hall is located in the center, and the other four halls are famous for the names of the four elephants, namely the East Qinglong Palace, the West White Tiger Palace, the South Vermilion Bird Palace, and the North Xuanwu Palace.
The Lingsha Hall is in charge of the heads of the past dynasties, except for the Lingsha Palace, each hall has an elder stationed there, and there are two Dharma protectors by the side of the elder and the master, but these ordinary disciples of the Dharma protectors are very difficult to see, and their whereabouts are very secretive.
In addition to the four elders and the ten Dharma protectors, the most common thing that the disciples saw was the spirit master stationed in the five halls. A spiritual master is a master who teaches the Dharma to each generation of disciples, and there is no fixed number of these spiritual masters. Now there are a total of twelve spirit masters in the Lingsha Temple.
Among the twelve spirit masters, the top three in strength are Huoyao, Rain Master, and Hurricane, and all three of them live in the main hall with the head of the sect, and only accept some elite inner disciples.
The disciples who worship under the Four Elephants are all ordinary outer disciples, among which the two spirit masters of Lingguang and Lightning live in the Qinglong Palace, the Divine Tiger and the White Wolf guard the White Tiger Palace, Qin Yin and Miaodi are both female spirit masters, they guard the Vermilion Bird Palace, and the Split Mountain and the Turtle Shield are in the Xuanwu Palace.
The old drunkard is also one of the twelve spirit masters today, but he is not in these five halls. Because he drank heavily every day, drunk and dreamed of death every day, the head of the demon demon and the earth lord drove him out of the five halls in a fit of anger.
But the old drunkard's whereabouts are strange, and I don't know where he found more than a hundred orphans, and he also brought these orphans to Jiulong Peak and accepted these orphans as disciples.
Because their master and apprentice did not have a place to live, they built more than 100 small huts near the five major halls, which looked like a small village and town from a distance, so that every disciple had a place to live.
In order to prevent the old drunkard from doing some outrageous things, the head of the sect, Fu Mo Dizun, reluctantly incorporated the old drunkard's master and apprentice into the Lingsha Hall and recognized their identities.
But the old drunkard was drunk and dreamed of death every day, and he didn't teach his apprentices too much knowledge about cultivation, which caused his disciples to be extremely weak, and even the strength of those outer disciples was much stronger than his disciples. Moreover, his disciples were all orphans and beggars, and the clothes they wore were in tatters, not only did they not look like people from the Lingsha Temple, but they looked more like beggars.
When Princess Ziyou followed Fang Qiong to the top of Nine Dragon Peak, when she saw the row of thatched houses in front of her, she even suspected that her eyes were dazzled.
Looking at Princess Ziyou's unbelievable appearance, Fang Qiong scratched her head and said with a smile: "Let Sister Princess laugh, my grandfather's disciples all live in the drunkard village, but the drunkard village also belongs to the Lingsha Palace." ”
When these more than 100 thatched huts were built, the old drunkard felt that he should give this place a name, so he gave it the name of the drunkard village.
Just when Fang Qiong and Princess Ziyou were flying towards the drunkard village on a delicate phoenix bird, Mo Xun also rode a delicate phoenix bird to catch up behind.
When the three of them arrived at the drunkard village, they found an old man with a gourd hanging on his body staggering towards them.
The phoenix bird landed on the ground, and as soon as the three of them jumped off the phoenix bird's body, the two phoenix birds flew to the side to forage for food.
Seeing the drunken old man walking towards here, Mo Xun quietly poked Fang Qiong's shoulder and whispered, "How did you do it, didn't you say that the old liar had to sleep for three or four days before he woke up?"
Fang Qiong also looked puzzled, shook his head and said, "Impossible, every time he drinks these wines, he will sleep for three or four days, why did he wake up so quickly today?"
While the two were talking, the old drunkard had already walked up to them.
The old drunkard looked at the two of them, shook his head, and snorted softly: "You two little ghosts, are you stealing money and going out to lose again?"
Mo Xun and Fang Qiong made a grimace at the old drunkard at the same time, and at the same time hid behind Princess Ziyou.
Princess Ziyou gritted her teeth and said to the old drunkard: "Senior, I'm here to recognize your relatives." Also, can you give me the antidote to the poison of the golden bee?"
The old drunkard frowned, took out a paper bag from his arms, handed it to Princess Ziyou, shook his body and said in a daze: "This is the antidote to the golden bee needle poison, you can apply it to the wound." After speaking, he actually stretched out his hand and pinched Princess Ziyou's face, and then said with a smile: "Little girl, how do I see that you are a little familiar, what is your name?"
Princess Ziyou was extremely embarrassed, because the empress had instructed her to respect the old drunkard. She gently removed the old drunkard's hand, and said with a bitter face: "Senior, I am Princess Ziyou." ”
"Princess Purple Shadow...... Recognize your relatives ......" The old drunkard muttered quietly, then his eyes widened, and he pulled out Mo Xun, who was hiding behind Princess Ziyou, and asked loudly, "Is it your seventeenth birthday today!?"
Mo Xunmu nodded.
Seeing this, the old drunkard laughed, pointed at Mo Xun and said to Princess Ziyou: "Little girl, the relative you are looking for is this kid." You can take him to your mother now, haha......"
Looking at the old drunkard who was getting farther away, Mo Xun's heart was pounding. At this time, Princess Ziyou had already smeared the antidote of the golden bee's tail needle, this medicine was really magical, and the bloat on her hand disappeared in less than a moment.
At this time, Fang Qiong jumped out from behind Princess Ziyou, pointed at her and Mo Xun and said, "Could it be that the little junior brother is the long-lost brother of the princess......'s sister?
"Click, sister, while playing with eggs. Mo Xun dragged Fang Qiong's little hand and pulled her aside, Fang Qiong pouted, and said pitifully: "Unthankful, shameless person, I forgot my senior sister with status, I am so disappointed that I will give you a big dinner for your birthday today." ”
Mo Xun looked at the little senior sister like a little adult, pinched her little face, and said with a wry smile: "The princess is here to recognize her relatives, maybe I will leave with her in a while." Actually, I am quite reluctant to be here, if I am really the long-lost son of the current empress, then I will take this opportunity to go to the palace and ask her face to face why she abandoned me back then. When the time comes, I'll bring you some delicious food in the palace, and you can go to your grandfather now, and I'll talk to the princess about some serious things, okay?"
Fang Qiong tilted his head, thought for a while, and then said with a disappointed face: "I will believe you once this time, if I let me know that you deceived me, even if you hide in the palace, I will let you stop." ”
In this way, Fang Qiong walked towards the village step by step, and that expression was like a little daughter-in-law saying goodbye to her husband, Mo Xun's heart was about to break......
In this regard, Mo Xun couldn't help but sigh: "This little girl's film, it's really not worry-free!"
After settling Fang Qiong's little trouble, Mo Xun immediately returned to the princess, showed a humble look, and said, "Let the princess wait for a long time." ”
Princess Ziyou looked at Mo Xun with a low look, with a complicated expression of contempt and sympathy on her face, and finally sighed lightly, shook Mo Xun's hands, and said softly: "Brother, you have suffered outside all these years. ”
Held by these soft hands, Mo Xun shed tears uncontrollably, this long-lost warmth, he hadn't felt it for a long time.
Mo Xun withdrew his hand, wiped the tears on his face, and said to the princess: "It can't be proved that I am the person you are looking for now, I will go and get something, maybe it can prove my true identity." ”
After speaking, Mo Xun ran towards the village, laughing madly as he ran, he had mixed feelings at this moment, and he couldn't hide the deep misery and loneliness that had accumulated in his heart for so many years.
The princess followed Mo Xun to the small hut where he lived, which was very simple, with straw mats on the floor, no tables, chairs, no beds, and no quilts. It looks like a cowshed.
Mo Xun uncovered a straw mat on the ground and took out a painting from under the straw mat.
This painting depicts a woman, this woman is laughing, smiling carefree, with green silk draped over her shoulders, she is wearing a white dress, and her smile is somewhat similar to the way Princess Ziyou laughs.
Mo Xun turned around and handed the painting to Princess Ziyou, and at this time, Princess Ziyou was already in tears.
"Brother, the woman in this painting is the mother. Have you lived in this humble house all these years?"
The princess's voice was choked, and she could see that she was a very kind girl. There is no pampered temperament of the children of ordinary large families.
Mo Xun laughed, snatched back the painting in the princess's hand, and tore the scroll to pieces, he knelt on the ground, and said self-deprecatingly: "For the past two years, I have been sleeping with this scroll in my arms. In my dreams, I dreamed of my mother putting me to sleep when I was a child. I always thought she was a kind mother, and she must have had some unspeakable secrets to leave me and my father. Now that I think about it, it's ironic that the mother I have been seeing in my dreams is the empress that everyone fears today, and I am the child she has abandoned for 17 years! Everyone else says that my stepmother is a bad woman, and in my eyes, the so-called empress is not as good as a bad woman!"
Princess Ziyou helped Mo Xun up, held his hand tightly, and sighed softly: "I know that you must have suffered a lot of grievances outside over the years, but the mother queen really can't help herself. Even if she is on the throne, there are some things that she cannot control. ”
Mo Xunmu smiled and said, "I don't know what the life of the royal family is like, and now I just want to question her face to face about something." Take me to the palace. ”
"We're not going to the palace, we're going home!"
"Huh!"
Mo Xun and Princess Ziyou came outside, and the disciples of the drunkard village all looked at them with curiosity. Mo Xun turned around and found that Fang Qiong was also secretly looking at him from behind the corner.
Mo Xun beckoned to Fang Qiong, and Fang Qiong walked out quietly. This time, instead of chattering like a bird as before, she blinked a pair of misty eyes and sobbed, "Stinky junior brother, I know you lied to me." You won't come back when you go to the palace. ”
Mo Xun looked at the rows of small thatched huts in the drunkard village, looked at the senior brothers and brothers in the distance, looked at the surrounding grass and trees, his face showed a strong reluctance, he hugged Fang Qiong, knocked her nose with his fingers, and chuckled: "Don't worry, I won't forget everyone." The two years I have lived here have been the happiest. ”
At this time, the old drunkard came out of the thatched hut next door, he took the wine jug in his hand, took a big sip, and then staggered to Mo Xun's side, and then looked at Siye again, and sighed lightly: "Prosperous and beautiful, all eyes are empty." For 50 years, it has been a dream. ”
"Old liar, what are you talking nonsense again?" Mo Xun said suspiciously.
The old drunkard laughed, poured another sip of spirits, and said: "Today's world is the world of the Fang family, and everyone in the world knows that the empress is famous, but who knows who Fang Ruyan is?"
Hearing this, Princess Ziyou was shocked, he looked at the old drunkard in shock, and wondered, "How do you know the name of the mother emperor?"
"Fang's ...... Old liar, you won't be my grandfather!?" Mo Xun also looked at the old drunkard in shock.
The old drunkard laughed, walked towards the outside of the village, and said to Mo Xun behind him: "Take Qiong'er away, I will also go to the palace to meet my long-lost daughter." ”
"Okay, you old liar, you really deceived me miserably!" Mo Xun smiled, hugging Fang Qiong and chasing after the old drunkard.
Princess Ziyou rubbed her head and said to herself: "No wonder the mother told me to respect the old drunkard when I was leaving, but I didn't expect him to be my grandfather." ”
She smiled slightly, and chased after Mo Xun: "Brother Huang, wait for me......"
