The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Su Jin smiled and said: "It depends on our good fortune, because if I don't succeed, it won't do you much good, but there are a lot of disadvantages."

The blind third master pretended not to hear Su Jin's words, lifted his feet to the ground, ordered the two women to make tea, and said slowly: "Feng Jingyao's whereabouts are indeed secretive, and there are indeed few enemies, so he attaches great importance to his own safety. Dozens of people wanted his life, but the result was that the sneak attack failed and their own lives were taken instead."

Su Jin said: "If it's so easy to get it, do I still need to ask the blind third master?"

Blind Third Master said: "Everything depends on yourselves. What the old man can provide is only some clues, but I can't guarantee that you will succeed and get back unscathed."

Su Jin nodded and said nothing, motioning for the blind third master to continue.

"Although Feng Jingyao's whereabouts are erratic, there are indeed some rules. People who practice martial arts generally have a more regular life, and Feng Jingyao is no exception. In fact, I don't know much about his origin, but I have glimpsed it in the chat. It seems that he is He came from a certain sect, and his martial arts skills are outstanding, but he doesn't obey discipline, and he is very bloodthirsty. As for why he was expelled from the sect, the old man is not very clear. Tie Danzi is to exercise finger strength and wrist strength, and don't look at him as thin as a piece of wood, in fact, his internal skills are very good. It seems a bit exaggerated to say that he can kill a tiger with one punch, but the old man can break stones with his punches. See, so it’s definitely not easy to deal with.”

Su Jin knew that what the blind third master said was no exaggeration. At the entrance of Sanli Lane at Beikou that day, Feng Huhu's two iron eggs were perfect in accuracy and strength. The strength of holding two horses' heads and preventing the horses from entering is really shocking.

"Third Master Blind, everyone has flaws, and even an iron man is afraid of fire, so there is no need to talk about his strengths. We just need a chance for him to slip away."

The blind third master said: "That's right, Feng Jingyao has a lot of thugs, and it's really troublesome to fight; although he doesn't stay at home, there must be a large number of people following him when he goes out, and in order to prevent sneak attacks from the back, he never sits. A sedan chair or a carriage, but wearing ordinary clothes, and walking with dozens of apprentices wearing the same clothes, it is impossible to identify it. It is said that if the apprentices around him are not face to face, they will not be able to figure out who Feng Jingyao is .”

Su Jin frowned and said, "So careful? How many enemies must have such defenses? So, isn't there nothing to do?"

The blind third master said: "It's not always true. Three years ago, Feng Jingyao worshiped Master Shanxiang, the abbot of Daming Temple, as his teacher and converted as a lay disciple. There is also a Dharma name called Puji. Do you know about this?"

Su Jin laughed dumbly and said: "What? He converted to Buddhism? Will such a person believe in Buddhism? Will he abide by Buddhist precepts?"

The Blind Third Master rolled his eyes at him and said: "Refuge is not a monk, it is just seeking peace of mind from Buddhism. It’s just a way to suppress the inner demons, not just follow the Buddhist precepts.”

Su Jin scolded: "What kind of belief in Buddhism is this? One side is chanting Amitabha Buddha, while the other side is still doing murder and arson. Doesn't it tarnish Buddhism? The abbot of this Daming Temple is also a fool, and he actually accepted him as a disciple." , why not call it 'Puji', in my opinion it is more appropriate to call it 'Pufu'."

The blind third master rolled his false eyes and was speechless. He wanted to say that he was also a convert, but seeing the attitude of the other party, he was laughed at when he said it. After thinking about it, he held back.

"The Daming Temple was named after it was first built in the Ming Dynasty of Emperor Xiaowu of the Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty. It was destroyed by wars. Although it was repaired by the Li and Tang Dynasties, it was actually in dilapidated condition. It was presided over by Shanxiang to collect donations from many parties, but it got very little money. Later, Feng Jingyao came out. Huge sums of money helped Master Shanxiang to rebuild several halls, and the condition he proposed was that Shanxiang accept him as a lay disciple, and Shanxiang's presiding officer agreed to him."

Su Jin sighed: "Money can turn ghosts, gods and Buddhas can't resist the temptation of money. Needless to say, you must have paid for it?"

The blind third master muttered, "It's a little out."

Su Jin suddenly asked, "What's your dharma name?"

The blind third master said in surprise: "How do you know that I have also converted?"

Su Jin said: "Didn't you just say that people who have done many bad things are always not at peace. Converting to Buddhism to seek peace is the best way to deceive yourself. Your blind third master has done a lot of things. You certainly won't be able to sleep at night, Feng Huo has converted, how can you not convert?"

The Blind Third Master was really overwhelmed when he met such an opponent who was good at speculating, so he could only whisper: "The old man's name is 'rescue'."

Su Jin laughed loudly, and was afraid of hearing the noise outside, so she covered her mouth and laughed, tears were about to flow out.

"Salvation? You dare to accept such a funny name, so you are not afraid of thunder? Oh, how about changing it to 'you regret'? This is the correct attitude of worshiping Buddha."

The blind third master said angrily: "Do you want to listen to it? If you don't listen, please leave. I have a devout and Buddha-respecting heart, and I don't want you to make fun of it."

Su Jin hurriedly held back her laughter, waved her hands and said, "Listen, listen, of course I will listen to you. Is it my fault?"

Seeing his insincere words, the blind third master had nothing to do, his life was hanging by a thread, so it was better not to care about these sarcastic remarks.

"The first and fifteenth day of every month is the day of worshiping the Buddha. Feng Jingyao must go to Daming Temple to listen to Master Shanxiang's lectures, but his guards cannot enter the meditation room in the backyard, because Master Shanxiang will never let these people swarm into the backyard, so by then, naturally, he was alone."

"It's a good place. It's the most suitable place in the temple. It's clean and won't disturb others. It's just that the first day of the new year has passed, and the fifteenth day is still early. I can't wait."

The blind third master said: "There is a special day this month, the old man knows that Feng Jingyao must go."

Su Jinxi said: "What date?"

"The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is the day after tomorrow. It is the day when Sakyamuni Buddha became enlightened. Maybe Feng Huhu will not go on the first fifteenth day of the lunar month, but he will undoubtedly go on the eighth day."

Su Jin was overjoyed and said: "This is the right time, the time and place are very good, Feng Jingyao can't escape this catastrophe, and the Buddha can't help him either."

The blind third master sighed: "It's just that I can't go in person that day, I can only pretend to be sick and stay in bed. Feng Jingyao will definitely send someone to invite me to go."

Su Jin smiled and said: "If your heart is for the Buddha, why should you stick to the formality? It's the same with your wife in the small Buddhist hall at home. The Buddha knows everything, how can he not know your heart?"

The blind third master heard the sarcasm in his words, pretended not to know, nodded and said: "The old man already knows everything, can you let the old man go?"

Su Jin smiled and said: "Of course, robbers have their own way. Although we are not real robbers, we still have to follow the rules. However, in order to make you and I feel at ease, there is one last thing to do."

The blind third master said in astonishment: "What's the matter?"

As soon as Su Jin winked, Ma Han stepped forward and stretched out his hand to grab the blind third master's bun and pull back, pulling the blind third master's head up, while the other hand was on the blind third master's two sides With a pinch of his cheeks, the blind third master automatically opened his mouth, which had lost a few teeth.

Su Jin said: "I'm offended!" He reached out and took out a bright-colored pill from his bosom, threw it into the blind third master's mouth like Donald Duck, picked up the teacup and poured it into the tea.

The Blind Third Master made a whining sound, trying not to swallow, but in desperation, he felt the pill flow into his stomach with the water, and his soul flew away.

Ma Han stared wide-eyed and shook the blind third master's mouth back and forth like a rattle with his hands, seeing clearly that the pill in his mouth had indeed been swallowed, and then let go.

The blind third master choked his throat, coughed, and retched. His voice was slightly louder, which alarmed the guards outside. Someone asked through the door: "Third master, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Chao passed the sharp knife forward and pressed it against the blind third master's throat. The blind third master was full of anger and shouted: "Get out!"

The guard outside took a slap on the head, and went in without knowing it, so he had to walk away quickly, cursing in his heart: "The old dog must not lift it, and I am so angry at my father, I curse you that you will never enter Hong Kong again until you die. Anxious to death, you old dog."

"This medicine is chronic. Don't be alarmed, as long as you tell the truth, the antidote will be provided after the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. But if we are killed by you, if we fall into any trap, you will die after five days." You will die if your intestines are rotten, so don’t try to detoxify yourself, this antidote can’t be cured by just anyone, if you take the medicine, don’t blame me if you can’t cure the poison in the future.”

"Despicable and shameless!" The blind third master yelled, his mouth was not very uncomfortable, but there was a slight sweet feeling, but the blind third master heard that the more poisonous the drug, the better the taste, I am afraid it is this The pills are also poisonous and can no longer be poisonous.

Su Jin smiled and said: "There is no way, we always have to guard against your old hands. The blind third master has a reputation outside, and we dare not take it lightly; but this medicine has some side effects, and it may be good for an old man like you. Make an apology for your disrespect."

Su Jin got up with a smile and snapped his fingers. Chao Mahan put away the knife. The three of them moved swiftly, and they flew over the back window like a gust of wind, flying away in an instant.

The Blind Third Master was thinking about the benefits that Su Jinlin said when he left. Suddenly, he felt his lower abdomen was hot, his soft stuff suddenly swelled, and his whole body became restless. Only then did he understand what the benefits Su Jin said were the benefits of the poison. The side effect is to revive him.

The blind third master had no choice, although he was eager to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, but he couldn't leave right now, his body was so hot that he tore off his clothes with a huff, revealing his bony body, and stretched out his hands to pick up two frightened fans, Pressed on the couch and started to conquer.
