Martial Arts: This world is different

Chapter 289 The Monk
"I'm tired, tired of being in hiding, and I think it's time to call it quits."

Lin Hu didn't make a sound, he vaguely felt that he was facing a huge decision.

"Lin Hu, what do you think of Zhu Di as an emperor? Tell the truth."

It stands to reason that calling the current emperor by his name is disrespectful, but Lin Hu doesn't care about it. He even feels that there is no one in the world who is more qualified to call Yongle emperor by his name than this monk.

"It can be called the wise master."

"Is this your evaluation?"

"It's not just me, but future generations will definitely evaluate it in the same way."

The monk nodded and looked at the Buddha statue in front of him, speechless for a long time.

"When I first left Nanjing, I was full of resentment." After a while, the monk suddenly said, as if he was talking to Lin Hu, but also as if he was talking to himself.

"I always thought that Zhu Di was a traitor, and his fortune would not last long. But over time, I gradually realized that the so-called comeback was just a dream. Zhu Di's fortune became more and more stable, even better than mine at the beginning." Said There was a sense of loneliness in the monk's tone here.

"Several times I have thought about disbanding the Zhengqi League, finding a place where no one knows me, and quietly dying, but you should also understand that people like us often can't do things by ourselves, so it's procrastinating again and again. Procrastinating until now, the result has involved so many people, it is also a sin, Amitabha."

Speaking of this, the monk read a few scriptures, as if he was repenting for his sins, and he let out a sigh of relief after reading.

"You can find here tonight, maybe it's also my Buddha's arrangement. It's time to put an end to everything. Lin Qianhu, how about we make a deal?"

Lin Hu couldn't help being slightly taken aback when he heard this, and looked at the other party with some surprise. At this time, the monk's body was between light and shadow, looking so mysterious.

"Do you want to ask what the deal is?"

Lin Hu smiled without saying a word.

"I'll go back with you. Zhu Di hasn't been looking for me all these years. If he doesn't catch me, he may have trouble sleeping and eating. To you, this should be a great contribution. In exchange, I hope you let Wen Jiu go." Those people, they are all loyal ministers and righteous men. Although they may have done some disgraceful things, they are all for me. I cannot lead them to make a comeback. At least I hope to do something for them in the end. How, this deal is for you It’s a huge profit, right?”

Lin Hu didn't speak at that time, but now he seemed to understand a lot of things, why the other party lost to Zhu Di, and why so many people were still willing to follow him in adversity, and even die for him, all these seemed to have the answer.

Seeing that Lin Hu hadn't said a word for a long time, the monk seemed a little anxious: "Lin Qianhu, please give me an answer. If it drags on, it will be dawn. Waiting for others to find this place may not be good for either of us."

Lin Hu was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "It's okay to make a deal, but the villain thinks that the content needs to be changed."

The monk couldn't help being happy when he heard this: "But few people dare to bargain with the poor monk."

"There has to be an exception to everything."

"Okay, then I'll hear how you plan to change."

At that time, Lin Hu introduced his plan, and the monk was taken aback when he heard it.

"Are you serious about this?"

"I have the guts to dare not make fun of this kind of thing."

"Why did you do that?"

"Well, I can't tell myself. Firstly, I may be infected by your actions of sacrificing my life for righteousness. Secondly, to put it in a word that may be outrageous, although I work for today's emperor, I don't think all his actions are right. This transaction can be regarded as a kind of compensation for what he did in the past. In addition, I always feel that as long as you don't get caught for a day, it can be regarded as a wake-up call for today and its descendants, forcing them to be a good emperor. This is not bad for the people of Ming Dynasty Not a good thing."

This time when changing monks, he was speechless for a long time, and after a while he asked, "Your name is Shuangmulin, a tiger named Tiger?"

"That's right, didn't you already know that?"

"I just wanted to double check because I just found out you're a really special person."

"It might be more appropriate to say weird. It's getting late, and there are still people waiting for me outside. Please give me an answer. Do you agree to this deal?"

The monk was silent for a while, and finally bowed to the Buddha statue: "Amitabha, maybe all of this is my Buddha's arrangement. In that case, I will continue to carry this burden, but Lin Qianhu, how will you deal with it when you go back?" ?”

"I have arranged all this myself, so I won't bother you."

"It's a pity, if only I had a courtier like you when I was in office."

"A self-assertive subordinate like me, if you are still in place, I probably wouldn't dare to reuse it."

The monk was taken aback when he heard this, and then couldn't help laughing: "Lin Qianhu, you are indeed a wonderful person, then this deal will be considered a deal."

Lin Hu bowed at that time: "In that case, the villain will retire."

After Lin Hu finished speaking, he got up and was about to leave the main hall, but suddenly the monk stopped him: "Lin Qianhu, after talking for so long, don't you want to see the poor monk's face?"

Lin Hu smiled: "I don't know much about Buddhism, but I also know that emptiness is form, and form is emptiness. It is my honor to talk with you for so long. It doesn't matter whether I see you or not."

Hearing this, the monk couldn't help taking a deep breath, and after a long time, he folded his palms together and said, "Amitabha, it doesn't seem wrong to lose the Righteousness Alliance in your hands."

After that, the monk stopped talking, and Lin Hu also left the main hall without saying a word, and closed the door gently. When he came to the courtyard, Lin Hu looked up at the night sky, feeling filled with emotion.

"Lin Qianhu finished talking?" Wen Jiu came to Lin Hu at this time and said.

Lin Hu smiled faintly at him: "The talk is over."

"Then this way please." Wen Jiu said and led Lin Hu to walk outside the temple.

"Don't you want to know what I talked with your master?" Lin Hu asked.

"Some things we should know, we will naturally know, and we will never ask more about what we shouldn't know." Wen Jiu said coldly.

At that time, Lin Hu couldn't help feeling that the group of Zhengqi League was really disciplined, but it's no wonder, if not for this, they would not be able to survive for so long under the court's pursuit.

Lin Hu didn't say much at the time, and followed Wen Jiu to the gate of the temple. Xu and Tang Ernv had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and when they saw Lin Hu appearing, they immediately greeted him.

"Old Lin, are you okay?" Tang Feiyan held Lin Hu's hand tightly, regardless of the many people present, her concern was beyond words, and Lin Hu couldn't help but feel a little moved when he saw this. Yes, it is so honorable to have such a beautiful woman.

"I'm fine, I made you worry." At that time Lin Hu patted Tang Feiyan's hand and said.
