Emperor Kangxi: Yuyu Chengxiang

Chapter 75 Mu Zixu's Wisdom Stays at Pilu Courtyard
"Finally found you!" Mu Zixu was both excited and nervous, his heart was pounding, and he said hastily, "Put it down—I have to live here!"

Seeing that Mu Zixu's face turned pale, Shi Jianmei quickly put down the painting and said, "No, it's too dangerous here!"

"It's not dangerous, what did the emperor ask me to do?" Mu Zixu said, "I want to live here, three days later, at midnight, please send troops to support me!"

"Why three days?"

"I haven't rested all this time, I'm very tired." Mu Zixu said, "Besides, there are many masters in this temple, I have to wait for my chance..." At this point, I heard the sound of boots outside the courtyard, and an old monk with yellow eyebrows was wearing cassock Stepping in, he folded his palms together and lowered his eyes to ask: "Ami buried the Buddha, and the old Najue Yuanji greeted him. The two benefactors are happy and peaceful!" Mu Zixu hurriedly stood up and clapped his hands together. The great monk opened the door of convenience. Allow my uncle and sister-in-law to knock on the Xingming Living Buddha!"

Jueyuan sat down in front of the table in the middle hall, and said in a deep voice, "Mingxuan has already reported it just now. The Lord Lingtang is devout and respectable! Disciples of Xingming have converted to my Buddha since childhood, and have thoroughly explored the wonderful meaning of the three vehicles and the joys and sorrows of all lifeless forms. , face the wall for ten years to clear the mirror dust, and I have realized the true meaning of my Buddhism. The next verse is scheduled to sit in Huaben Temple on May 25 next year. At that time, not only the two of you, but all good men and women in the world can come to worship. It is very disturbing at this time Please forgive me for the inconvenience!" When Mu Zixu heard about this day, his heart skipped a beat, this day was when Kangxi was in Jinling!But somehow it didn't match what Wei Dongting said, so he asked: "Isn't it three days later?"

"The layman made a mistake!" Jue Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and said, "After three days, I will pass away." Shi Jianmei didn't believe it at all. All the monks in this temple are connected with each other. , I really want to ask, "Your disciples are all going to the Land of Ultimate Bliss one by one, why do you stay in the world and refuse to nirvana?" Then he smiled and said, "Elder, this is very unfortunate. I went to Yangzhou with the shopkeeper. For such a long time, my brother can only stay with you." He took the bank note from Mu Zixu's hand and held it up with both hands, "I need incense money, please accept it, elder!" Yuan accepted it reluctantly, and said after half a day: "...Okay, I will live in Lanruo Courtyard, and I will provide my own fast food, but I have to abide by the temple rules—I have wronged the benefactor!"

Mu Zixu was arranged in the monk's room next to the Shenku in the west wing of Lanruoyuan, and fell asleep after lunch. Since he entered Jiangsu, he only slept for a few hours in Wei's residence. He was too tired until the next day. Woke up late.It was dusk outside, Xuan Ming sent him to the evening fast, he ate two mouthfuls indiscriminately, and fell on the pillow and half-lyed to think about his thoughts, at this time outside the courtyard, autumn insects chirped, trees billowed, and evening drums faintly sounded, adding to the gloomy and desolate atmosphere. Affection. "One is bright, the other is obsolete..." Mu Zixu thought, "Why two? How about 'passing away'? It seems that the thief knew that his master came to Ning in September this year. He prepared one first, and later heard that The date was changed, so I had to arrange another one—so well-informed, this is really shocking... This temple is enshrining Zhong Sanlang, it must be Yang Qilong's den of thieves, the old bald donkey let me live here so easily , Did you see some flaws? Then he will let me out of the temple alive?"... Just as he was thinking, he heard the grass rustling in the courtyard, Mu Zixu's eyes flashed, he turned over and fell asleep, With the handle on his waist, he tightly held the snow-steel dagger that Kangxi gave him.

"Old guest, sleep well!" It was Yu Yishi who came in, and when he came back from the show, he threw the chain on his back to the corner of the room, and said to Mu Zixu, "Have you eaten yet?" Mu Zixu He turned over and sat up, rubbing his eyes and said, "Aren't you the Mr. Yu who eats pancakes? What a skill and effort—why do you live here?" Yu Yishi smiled, pulled the pole on the bed, Lying down, Fang said: "I'm a wanderer, what kind of hotel do I stay in? There is a temple house, and it will be heaven."

That night, the two of them lit the fire and lit the lamp. On the kang, you chatted up a conversation with each other, asking about each other's experiences and the customs of their hometown, until midnight, and each of them fell asleep vigilantly.For a whole day, Yu Yishi went out early and returned late, and Mu Zixu pilgrimage during the day and went to the front temple and the back temple, but he didn't feel anything unusual.

But seeing this person in the room, Mu Zixu didn't dare to do anything at night.The fourth night was the day of action. Mu Zixu had recovered enough energy during the day, and when Ding Yishi came back, he just said that he was not feeling well and lay down on the bed.Hearing the monk beating drums and cymbals, the evening class was over, and Yu Yishi was snoring like thunder, he was expected to have fallen asleep, so Mu Zixu kicked off his shoes and got up quietly.

"Where are you going?" Yu Yishi who was snoring suddenly woke up.

"Little solution."

"This is an ancient temple deep in the mountains, you are not afraid to go out on weekdays as a businessman!" Yu Yishi also sat up, "It happens that I also want to relieve myself, let's go together."

Mu Zixu had no choice but to say: "That's a good thing, I'm just a little timid!" So the two went out together and found convenience in the wormwood.Turning back, Mu Zixu lay down, and seeing a dark figure standing motionless in front of the bed, he asked, "Old Yu, why don't you sleep?"

"Who are you?" Yu Yishi asked gloomily, approaching Mu Zixu while talking.Mu Zixu was startled, but he said with a smile, "What's the matter with you? Have you been enchanted? I'm in business!" Yu Yishang sneered and took another step closer: "Business man? Why don't you go in with a knife? What did the Red Knife come out of? I’ve inquired, and there’s no name for your family in Yangzhou Prefecture at the Nanking Wharf! Tell me! Who is that woman, and where does she live? Hmph, she’s very cunning, and she’s gone out of the temple gate!”

Hearing that Jianmei was fine, Mu Zixu felt relieved, sat up straight, and said with a smile, "Old Yu, don't be kidding, it's the middle of the night, it's scary..." As he spoke, he was lucky enough, and suddenly he jumped upside down, Both feet made a chain step in the air and kicked Yu Yishi in the chest.

Yu Yishi didn't expect him to be so powerful, he was pushed back a few steps and stood on the horse stake, a kite turned over and hit two steel darts, Mu Zixu stuck a "Cao E into the river" on the bed, and had already Holding the dagger in his hand, he pierced a white crane with wings open and watched quietly.In this contest, Mu Zixu knew that the opponent was slightly better than him, so he couldn't help but secretly worried, and just ignored it, when a soldier raised his hand, a black line came suddenly, because he didn't know what it was, he didn't dare He caught it with his hands, turned around a few times, and managed to escape, but he didn't stand still, and the black thread was thrown back as if it had eyes!Mu Zixu only felt a pain in his right wrist, the dagger in his hand flew away without a trace, in a daze, the black rope in Yishi's hand was coiled back early, he wrapped Mu Zixu's left arm tightly around his waist and asked, his right hand was busy. When I untie it, I realize that it is a steel wire wrapped with cowhide strips. How can I untie it in a hurry?

Seeing that he was bound, Yu Yishi leaped up to him, tightened the rope, wrapped it left and right, and tied Mu Zixu's legs firmly. He lit the lamp and said with a grinning grin: " You are not bad at kung fu, you are the only one who can dodge my tricks after so many years of walking in the rivers and lakes - tell me, are you still a businessman?"

"Businessman!" Mu Zixu poked his neck and said, "This is the Pilu Courtyard, not a black shop. If you don't untie it, I will call!"

"Shout!" Yu Yishi said with a hippie smile, "If you shout out loud, no one will answer you!"

"I'm so good at you! No one cares about you?" Taoist Qingfeng suddenly opened the door and came in. He walked up to Mu Zixu madly, twisted the black rope in his hand, and sighed: "This thing is really rare, why? If you do that, tie people up like sticks..." Before he could finish speaking, Yu Yishizao, who had woken up, threw another stick, and made Qingfeng according to the law, but his hands were entangled in it.

Yu Yishi laughed and said, "I never imagined that you also fell into Lao Tzu's way!" Taoist Qingfeng didn't seem to notice it, and he did not know what kind of tricks he used. Said: "Old Yu, what method do you have to bind Qingfeng? Oh my! Are you Granny Feng?" At this time Mu Zixu was dazzled.

Yu Yishi was stunned, his face was as white as paper, he stepped back, pointed at Qingfeng with shaking fingers and said, "You... are you... a human or a ghost?"

"Come back!" Qingfeng didn't know what she was doing.One step forward, grabbing Yu Yishi's shoulders and pulling them back, picking up the ropes on the ground and wrapping them one by one, Yu Yishi's acupuncture points were tapped, but he had no strength to resist.Qingfeng smiled and said: "The Taoist priest didn't practice this pestering kung fu. It's so troublesome. Zhu Ziyun used his own way to treat his body. Although it makes sense, it's too troublesome to do, too troublesome..." He said Ding Yishi has been bound.
