【Commentary 004】Chapter 4 Mud Floc

Although Chang Sihao was worried about Qin Juexiang's affairs, he didn't slow down too much, and he didn't see Li Shuangji following when he was about to leave Hebei, and when he asked, he heard him say "The word has arrived", and Qin Juexiang also "knew", but he didn't respond accurately, and couldn't help but feel depressed, thinking that this Shuangji was really thorough, let him pass the word, and he really only passed the word, and didn't ask more than a word [Xianmo: In some industries, this is actually a good employee,] , I didn't understand, I didn't understand, I didn't know, Guo Qiang and Wu Zhiming all looked out, and the two of them secretly snickered, with an expression of "If you want me to do it, it won't be like this", Ni Honglei smiled and patted Li Shuangji's back to show comfort, but he was a little stunned, I don't know what this means,

Chang Sihao thought that Qin Juexiang was smart and clever, he could mostly understand the rough hidden words, and now he couldn't take care of the two things, and he couldn't take care of him, and he still moved forward at the same time, this day crossed the Yellow River and entered the Zhengzhou territory, seeing that it was not early, he settled down in the post house to rest, here is the main road of communication between the north and the south, there are a lot of post horses who come and go, under inquiry, I heard that the military situation in Guangzhou is not tight, on the contrary, I once knew that the imperial court soldiers arrived, and they had already hidden, Lord Yu sent people to reconnoiter every day, and from time to time smashed the nest to break a small stronghold, this battle was scattered, but it seemed to have become a guerrilla, and secretly thought to himself: "What do you say that this has been a book that will use soldiers, it seems to be normal, tens of thousands of pirates against the official army, just to bully more and less, but he is hiding, obviously not confident, it seems that thieves are thieves after all, compared to the regular army," the next day set off, and his heart was a lot easier,

It was nearly noon when he passed through a tree-lined road, and he could see a city in sight at the end of the forest, Qi Zhonghua pointed out: "Hou Ye, there is Xinzheng in front, let's go into the city to make fire, take a little rest and then go," Chang Sihao nodded, and when he reached the edge of the woods, he saw someone standing up under a tree on the side of the road, looked at this side, as if confirming something, and blocked the road sideways,

Chang Sihao waited to restrain the horse, only to see that the man was wearing a blue and white monk's robe, stepping on bast shoes, and pushing the hat back, revealing Aomorisen's bald head with a scar, Wu Zhiming shook the horsewhip: "What way is you monk blocking, be careful to turn into a horse's hooves,"

The monk was happy: "The horse's hoof is printed on the body, but it is similar to ingots,"

Chang Sihao knew that there must be something strange about a monk on the avenue, and waved his hand to let Wu Zhiming retreat,

The monk looked him up and down and asked, "May I ask the one who came from the front, but is it Chang Sihao Chang Alliance Master of the Hundred Swords Alliance [Xianmo: If you don't call Hou Ye, just call the alliance leader, there is a reason,],"

Chang Sihao held the whip and said: "Down there is Chang Sihao, may I ask your Excellency,"

The monk said with a smile: "The little monk Pu from [Xianmo: There are real people in history, who have made meritorious contributions with Yu Dayouping, the author does not describe his life in detail, but only uses it to be a guide guy, it is really a hero,], is a disciple of the Shaolin faction, and has been waiting for the leader of the alliance here for many days on the order of the abbot of the sect, Xiaoshan Zongshu," Chang Sihao was a little strange, thinking that the big-headed monk and the Zheng League Master were talking and laughing, and Guo Shu Ronghua was like a close friend, and Xu Sangongzi was sticky, and he didn't know what the hell was in his head, and now he sent someone to stop me on the way, so he just listened to Pu Cong and said: "Chang League Master don't have to worry too much, the abbot has some affairs to discuss with you, and he knows that the Alliance Master is going south to Pingkou to pass through here, so he ordered the little monk to wait here, saying that this matter is related to the world, please please take a step,"

Chang Sihao stared at him and said, "Where is the Venerable Master?"

Pu smiled sideways and pointed to the east, a few people looked away, a peach forest on the bank of the small river in the distance, and the pink was like a cloud on the ground.

Originally, the fast horse was about to arrive in the blink of an eye, but Pu Cong was on foot, and he couldn't leave him behind, Chang Sihao simply got off the horse, and followed him on foot, along the way, I felt that I had changed the eagerness to hurry, and my mood became much more relaxed, [Xianmo: It is with the slow pace that regulates the breath of words,]

Into the depths of the peach forest [Xianmo: Hou in the clouds into the clouds], I saw a small courtyard in front of me, with green tiles and white walls, very fresh [Xianmo: There is a courtyard in the clouds, knowing that it is heaven and earth], Pu Cong went in to report, not long after, Xiaoshan Zongshu personally led people to greet him, and smiled at first sight: "Amitabha, it is really the leader of the Chang Alliance [Xianmo: Xiaoshan is also called the leader of the alliance, not called the Hou Ye] arrived, the old man greeted him late, and hoped that the alliance master would forgive his sins,"

Chang Sihao said: "Don't dare to be, there are a lot of idle chores, the Venerable Master left Beijing and didn't catch up with the send-off, I'm really sorry," a few polite words into the courtyard, Pu Cong led Qi Zhonghua and others to rest and watch tea, Chang Sihao followed the Xiaoshan Zongshu through the corridor and crossed the bridge and went straight back, all the way to see the courtyard is also full of flowers and clouds, peach branches over the wall, quite pleasing to the eye, so he squinted his eyes and said: "I don't want to have a Shaolin courtyard here, the Venerable Master looks at the peach blossoms every day, presumably very comfortable, [Xianmo: The peach blossoms on the human face are red, lined with human faces, I don't know if the Venerable Master can think about the peach buttocks,] The man on the hill laughed loudly,

Come to the back garden, only to see a stone table in the small courtyard, there are three large flower chairs around, take a closer look, it turned out to be three peach trees, the peach trees were originally low, plus over the years in the pruning of the shape of the two hands to hold each other, set up a wooden board and backrest, spread the cushion of Xuanxuan cotton, wrapped around the flower branches, it became a natural chair, the hill said "please," Chang Sihao sat down on the peach tree chair on the left hand side, the buttocks fell back on the chair, only to feel that the top of the head was full of white, red and pink petals, as if caught in the sea of flowers, thinking:" This monk really enjoyed,"

The man on the hill sat opposite and said with a smile: "It's a pity that Fang can only see a flower scene in early spring this year, if you come in the autumn, sit on the tree and pick peaches and eat, then you will have a different taste, [Xianmo: Thinking of autumn in spring, can you not think of spring in autumn, the great monk holds peaches in hand, how can you not have a different taste, and want to mouth, even more ambiguous," A middle-aged servant with a long beard served fragrant tea, turned around and retreated to the side,

Chang Sihao said: "Look at the eyes of the flowers, sit under the tree is the tree, smell in the nose is the fragrance, since the tree is in the fingers, the flower has entered the eyes, the nose is full of fragrance, this moment is enough to make people happy and infinite, and why bother for the future that sweet mouthful, so that the heart of the present has something to look forward to, become restless," [Xian Mo: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, if the mind does not move, then everything else is enjoyment, the mind moves, and everything else becomes desire,]

The man on the hill said: "Amitabha, the words of the alliance leader are quite Zen, such as climbing high and looking far, it is open, the banner of the Hundred Swords Alliance does not fall, there are successors of the sword family, and the old man is really happy for the old swordsman Xu and the leader of the Zheng League,"

Chang Sihao listened to the sentence calling himself the "leader of the alliance", and did not leave the identity of the rivers and lakes, so he also guessed that he was divided into two thoughts, and said with a smile: "I don't have the virtue in the next place, but I just barely support it, which is like the Venerable Master, the Shaolin faction under your auspices Shocking the rivers and lakes needless to say, it is rare to go to Beijing, and the relationship between the top and bottom is still accessible [Xianmo: is it to praise or scold,], you are not only a guest of the Xu family, but also Guo Dugong is a big backer, you can be called a private official on both sides, hands and eyes are through the sky, if you don't know the current affairs like this, Wise and knowledgeable family, Shaolin will not stand tall on the rivers and lakes for thousands of years [Xianmo: is it praise or scolding,], we are juniors, we should really learn from you,"

The person on the hill put his white beard in his hands, shook his big head, and said with a smile on his face: "Eh, the alliance leader is far away, the old man's Zen heart has been stained with mud, how can he chase the east wind up and down [Xianmo: The great monk is a scholar, and the poems of his predecessors are easy to come by, leading to harmony, and there is no abruptness], as for the guest discussion Zen, it is just to promote Buddhism [Xianmo: Sonam Gyatso is also like this, in short, there is a glorious lead placed there, and it is reasonable to do anything down],"

Chang Sihao remembered that at the banquet of the East Factory in Lichun, he had heard him say that "the drizzle is not self-respecting, so it must ride the wind, the stars have a star road, how can it be like duckweed", was interrupted by Zeng Shiquan at the time, and did not talk deeply, but he promised himself to the stars, and there was a hint that it was not all the way to the East Factory, listening to this now, this meaning is even more obvious, did he expect it wrong before, and his mind was spinning rapidly for a while, thinking that this monk is an old fritter, even if it is not the East Factory all the way, you have to be more careful, he smiled and said:" In the cold winter months, the north wind was cold and hard, and the road was very bitter, and there was no east wind to warm it, so why did the Venerable Master go to Beijing and suffer that sin?"

The man on the hill didn't speak, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it over, Chang Sihao hesitated to look at him, took it and unfolded it, only to see that the letter paper was full of official scripts, the font was quite familiar, and the hill was humane: "This is the letter from the lord of Zheng Meng to invite the old man into Beijing, and his Qin silkworm Guli [Xianmo: Pick up the second part, the book is not cold] full of strength, special wind and bones, presumably the master of Chang Meng must recognize it, [Xianmo: The font can be proved here, and it is multi-purpose]"

Chang Sihao looked carefully, it was indeed the pen of the master of Zheng Meng, seeing that the letter was sincerely worded, intended to invite the people on the hill to enter Beijing for a meeting, he couldn't help but secretly wonder, thinking that if this letter was true, the people on the hill were invited to Beijing by the lord of the Zheng League, not called by Guo Shu Ronghua, so when Dongchang instigated the three factions to withdraw from the alliance, he used him to preside over the notarization, how could it be fake?

The man on the hill saw his doubts and said: "There are no outsiders here, and the old man also has something to say, before the old man's junior brother Zongyu, oh, is the presiding officer of the White Pagoda Temple, Xiao Chi Shangren, sent a letter to the old man, saying that it was because he invited the white sect's protector King Kong into Beijing, which is quite rare, so he also wanted to invite the old man to study Buddhism in the past and solve each other's problems. However, Zheng Meng's letter came, saying that he wanted to invite the old man to discuss the martial arts affairs, and the words in the middle were sincere, a piece of sincerity, but let the old man move his mind, so he decided to enter Beijing, but he didn't think about it, to the White Pagoda Temple, for a while the heroes were uninvited, the emperor suddenly ordered the official, Xia Zenghui and others provoked controversy and commotion, Ying Hongying's mother and son complained in front of the heroes of the world, let the old man come to witness, followed by the three factions and then launched a withdrawal from the alliance, all kinds of rebellion and chaos are dizzying, it is really bold, now think about it, the old man has been secretive and low-key all the way, how can it attract so many martial arts people to the Baita Temple in a short period of time to greet him, it must be after the East Factory found out the rumors, and made a planAt that time, the old man was in the torrent and had no choice but to deal with it, but fortunately, Zheng Meng's eyes were candlelight, and he came to push the boat down the river [Xian Mo: The upper part is written by the mouth of the Oriental sword, and here is another stroke, the inner and outer carvings are carved out of multiple layers, Zheng Mengzhu is really difficult,], to avoid the conflict, and turn an earth-shattering disaster into invisible, otherwise the consequences are really unimaginable,"

Chang Sihao said: "How did the Venerable Master know that everything was instructed by Dongchang?"

The man on the hill said: "Cao Xiangfei is disdainful of the martial arts people, but he is respectful to you, obviously deliberately creating a hostile atmosphere, and there is a faction among the martial arts people who are inclined to the government, provoking the contradictions between the officials and the martial arts, which is also intended to stir up the fire, although there is no evidence at that time, it can be guessed from the situation,"

Chang Sihao recalled the situation in the Baita Temple at that time, and really saw it everywhere, and had to go according to the people's card, now thinking about it, I still feel depressed in my chest, thinking that this East Factory oppresses people with momentum, and it is not strange to be at the mercy of Shi Benxiu, Huo Qiuhai and the like, strange is the person who came by chance, People who have nothing to do with each other can also be played by them, arranged in the conspiracy like a chess piece, and make it impossible to resist, it seems that the person of the Hundred Swords League that day is also the eyeliner of the East Factory, otherwise he will not deliberately leak the bottom and lead himself to the Baita Temple, Guo Shu Ronghua is carefully arranged everywhere, this thought, it is really sophistication [Xianmo: The word sophistry should never be used here, and the author just uses this two words, He also, Gaine admits that it is sophistry, and does not admit its power, it is Xiao Chang who is still not convinced, Although the frustration does not detract from its bravery, with the word powerful, it cannot show this psychology,],

At this time, the person on the hill sighed and said: "After you and Young Master Qin left that day, Lao Qu talked with Lord Zheng Meng for an afternoon, and Lord Zheng Meng said that the eldest grandson Xiaochi retreated suddenly, which caused the situation in the rivers and lakes to fall into great turmoil, Zhu Qing, Jiang Wan, and Shen Lu have the heart to help the country, and the path taken by the Hundred Swords League is very different, he doesn't want to see the two fight in the future, The killing was carried out, and it didn't make sense to talk to them, so I hoped that Lao Qu would come forward as a martial arts senior and preside over mediation in the middle, so as to nip this catastrophe in the bud, [Xianmo: The positive and negative sides are not easy to speak, there must be a third party, Zheng Meng's idea is good,]"

Chang Sihao remembered that Zheng Mengzhu and himself drank porridge and sat down to discuss the current situation of the political system in the snowy night, and felt sad for a while, the Jian family stood tall, but always fell into the predicament of not being understood, but had to whisper everywhere and seek grievances, thinking that it was really helpless, [Xianmo: Non-violent means are always slow and inefficient, just like Western democracy, opinions are not unified, and you can't do anything vigorously and resolutely, the advantage is to be safe,]

The man on the hill groaned, and raised his eyes: "Since the old man has been told to him, he wants to ask to understand, and the sound of bamboo in one night will change the country. Xian Mo: Absolutely loud set fire, with Jin Wu talking about firecrackers as a guide; Xiaoshan is covered with internal affairs, there is Qin silkworm Guli as evidence, in the Baita Temple, you hate me and complain about grace and hatred; in the depths of the peach orchard, the abbot of the alliance leader recounts the old feelings, the three factions withdraw from the alliance, Hongying praises him, and a monk has a big head; the tea party talks happily, re-mentions the old things, the Hou Ye eyes are like a lamp, what to say, the sound of bamboo changes overnight, what is the road, the flower Xie Chunhong is too hurried, in short, the political spring and autumn are infinitely good, no matter how many times your temple is open,] , now that the Hundred Swords Alliance is in the hands of the Chang donor, I don't know if the past discussion can still be done,"
