The heavens start with Buddhist disciples

Chapter 20
Ji Ran, who originally wanted to teach Qin Ge, suddenly lost interest at all when he thought of his master.

Even if the internal organs are damaged, with Ji Ran's current medical skills, he can still find a way.

But the dryness of the soul is clearly a sign that life is coming to an end.Ji Ran walked around the room, unable to calm down. In the end, she had no choice but to sit cross-legged on the couch and start chanting...

The next day, Ji Ran, who had a pair of dark circles under her eyes, saw Qin Ge still practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, and said angrily: "To practice martial arts, you must first train your mind. Your mind is impetuous and hard to control. Even if you practice for ten years, you are just a fool." A second-rate figure in the world.”

"Now that the New Year is coming, you can go farming at the foot of the mountain after spring begins." Then Ji Ran ignored Qin Ge and went to look for Master Tianfeng.On the way, Hongye was also ordered to go farming at the foot of the mountain with Qin Ge, but they were going to different villages.

"Why did you come here today?" Master Tianfeng asked lovingly after seeing Ji Ran.

"Master, look at this." With that said, Ji Ran handed over the letter sent by Mr. Lanhua.

"On the fifteenth day of August, in Luoyang, please enjoy the bright moon together."

"What are you going to do?" Master Tianfeng asked.

"I plan to take Qin Ge to see a good show." Ji Ran replied.

"Just watching a play?" Master Tianfeng asked.

"Just watching the show." Ji Ran replied.

"Are you planning to let Qin Ge inherit the secrets of Shaolin?" Master Tianfeng asked, fiddling with the teapot in his hand.

Ji Ran picked up the teacup and took a sip unceremoniously, and replied: "I just have this idea, it depends on whether he can understand it."

"I have never explained to him the issue of analyzing his so-called plan that is beneficial to the world. I just hope that he can see through it on his own. If he can't see through it, forget it."

"I have sent him and Junior Nephew Hongye to farm at the foot of the mountain in the next spring. Abbot Sanzang trusted me and taught me the secrets of Shaolin. I am also responsible for this. If Qin Ge is not good, I think Junior Nephew Hongye is also good. "

Master Tianfeng nodded slightly and said: "Just do what you want to do. There is no need to worry about being a teacher. After all, we are Buddhist practitioners. We should know that one flower withers and another blooms, and one night of spring breeze and one night of dreams."

"Disciple has learned the lesson." Ji Ran lowered his head and saluted, then slowly exited Master Tianfeng's meditation room.

Looking at Ji Ran's actions, Master Tianfeng knew that although the child said he had learned the lesson on the surface, in fact he still couldn't let go.

In this way, Ji Ran still came to greet Master Tianfeng every day and chat with him. Master Tianfeng always comforted Ji Ran until New Year's Eve.

"Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year since you took over. As usual, you need to host the incense offering. In the afternoon, you will go to Zhike Academy to learn about the process," Master Tianfeng said.

In the afternoon, several Zhike monks took Ji Ran through the process of offering incense twice and some problems she might encounter tomorrow. After that, Ji Ran ran to the kitchen alone to cook. "

Maybe this is the last year we will spend with Master, let's have a New Year's Eve dinner with Master.Well, let's make some more dumplings, after all, this is the habit of that world! "Ji Ran thought to herself.

In the evening, Ji Ran entered Master Tianfeng's meditation room with two large food boxes: "Master, come and try it. The disciple made it by himself. I think it tastes great!"

Master Tianfeng did not refuse, but sat down and happily ate the reunion dinner with Ji Ran.

Watching Ji Ran telling the story like a child, "Once upon a time there was a mountain, there was a temple in the mountain, and there was an old monk in the temple."

Master Tianfeng smiled and patted Ji Ran's head and said: "It's late at night, go back and have a good rest. Happy New Year! I remember when I was a child, every New Year's Eve, you had to say this to your senior brother and teacher. .”

On the fifth day of the third month of the lunar calendar, there is the Waking of Insects.

This day was the day when Qin Ge and Hongye were ordered to go down the mountain to farm.

And Ji Ran's heart gradually calmed down under the enlightenment of Master Tianfeng in the past three months.Then, Ji Ran seemed to have caught something in his daily meditation, but he couldn't grasp it, and he always felt that it was a little bit close.

The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is called Slight Heat.

This day is the day when Qin Ge and Hongye complete the first season of rice harvest.

Ji Ran has spent more than half a year learning several secret books brought back from the demon sect: the Nine Soul-Spelling Techniques, the Three Ruyi Heavenly Demon Chain Postures, the Heavenly Juedijie Great Soul-Searching Hand, the Heavenly Juedijie Da Ziyang Hand, and Tianyi There are a total of five unique skills, including the Earth Turn and the Great Acupoint Shifting Technique.

After Qin Ge and Monk Hongye returned to the temple, Ji Ran first said goodbye to Master Tianfeng, and then took the two of them straight to Luoyang.

The fourteenth day of the eighth lunar month is the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Wei Xiang, who was the magistrate of Luoyang County at the time, was leading county police officers on inspections, checking from time to time whether the lamp stands everywhere were firm.

Is the Luoshui river channel smooth so that people can put out lanterns tomorrow?There are also several lively markets, whether the fire armor team's arrangements are complete and whether they can put out the fire as soon as possible if water breaks out.

All of these are different.

Qin Ge and Monk Hongye, who were wandering on the street, looked at the county magistrate curiously. After all, it was rare to see the magistrate on the street.Just looking at each other, Qin Ge and Hongye looked at each other, their eyes widened, and nodded to each other.

Qin Ge said: "You go and inform that smelly monk, I will follow you here."

Monk Hongye made a few leaps and disappeared into the crowd.

In the White Horse Temple, in the Zen room, Ji Ran looked calm and asked without any hint of joy, anger or sorrow: "Are you sure that the county magistrate looks very similar to me?"

Little Monk Hongye nodded and said, "Except for having more wrinkles on his face than you, the rest are at least eighty similar to you."

Ji Ran said: "You can go down. There is no need to take this matter seriously. There is nothing strange in the world between two similar flowers."

Hongye couldn't see Ji Ran's emotions, and said "Oh" with a slight disappointment, then retreated, murmuring: "I thought my uncle would be very excited when he found out, but why is he so calm? Is this the eminent monk?" "

Ji Ran was not as calm as she appeared, "Forget it, let's go to the county house tonight and have a look. You can't escape what is coming."

At night, Ji Ran first walked around the backyard of the county government office and found that the backyard of the county government office could be seen from the Wenchang Pavilion of Zhougong Temple in Luoyang.

So he climbed up the wall, stood quietly in Wenchang Pavilion, and observed the backyard of the county government opposite.It was almost midnight, and the last light in the backyard was extinguished. It seemed that the Luoyang County Magistrate was a good official who worked diligently and loved the people.

Ji Ran also saw an old couple walking out of the backyard, the county magistrate, his wife and three children.

Although there was some distance, Ji Ran's Gong Yun eyes could still see clearly that the county magistrate's features were indeed very similar to his own.Therefore, Ji Ran couldn't calm down that night and had no intention of sleeping, so she just looked at the opposite side quietly.

Who would have thought that when Yinshi arrived, five men in black jumped into the backyard of the county government office, seemingly with some agenda.

Ji Ran didn't think so, and jumped down, soaring like a phoenix, "flying" directly from Wenchang Pavilion into the backyard of the county government office, using three fingers and two palms to kill the intruder.

But these five people are quite skilled. They should have the cultivation level of the middle stage of the day after tomorrow. The strongest one is far better than the other four in terms of internal strength, and he should have the level of the late stage of the day after day.

If it were the county magistrate's family plus the servants, dealing with these five people would probably be a disaster, but if they met him, it would really not be enough. There is no difference between the middle and late stages of the day after tomorrow for Ji Ran.

The battle ended quickly, but dealing with the aftermath was troublesome. Ji Ran hated trouble.

So he hesitated for a moment, then walked to the magistrate's bedroom. His voice reached the magistrate's ears and said: "Just keep quiet, get up carefully, and don't disturb other people. I'll see you in the courtyard after you get dressed." I."

The county magistrate shuddered when he heard the sound, then looked around and found that his wife was still asleep, as if she hadn't heard anything.

The county magistrate thought it was a hallucination and was just about to go back to sleep when he heard again: "There was a thief breaking into the backyard just now. I have solved it now, but you should handle the aftermath."

The well-informed magistrate knew that this was not his hallucination, but that a martial arts master was transmitting messages to him.

He didn't yell, but did as he was told.

After a while, the two met in the courtyard. Under the bright moonlight, the county magistrate was shocked to find that the monk opposite him was very similar to himself when he was young. He looked like he was in his 30s. The only difference was probably his bald head.

Before the county magistrate could speak, Ji Ran pointed to the five corpses on the ground and said: "The five of them walked steadily and moved in an orderly manner. They looked like people in the army or people who had practiced martial arts in the army. The poor monks were more inclined. than the former."

The county magistrate bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for saving the lives of more than [-] people in the house. I also ask Master to take care of you for a while. I will talk to Master again after I finish handling the matters here."

Ji Ran ignored the county magistrate and continued: "There will be big events tomorrow on August [-]th. You'd better take your family to the White Horse Temple in the city or hide in the military camp." After that, he flew up and disappeared. Under the moon, it is like an immortal stepping on the moon.

Ji Ran did not go far, but still looked at the backyard quietly in Wenchang Pavilion until the end of the night.

Ji Ran did not leave his meditation room during the day, he sat quietly alone.

His mind couldn't help but think of that night more than 40 years ago. Although his memory was a little fuzzy, he still remembered the sweetness and fishy taste deeply.

Sweet is the sweetness of milk, fishy is the blood of women.

He seemed to have seen that woman again last night. His memory of the woman's appearance had long been blurred, but the old woman in the backyard did give him a familiar and friendly feeling.

It’s midnight on the [-]th day of the eighth lunar month.

Where are people?People are bleeding.The moon has no blood, but people do.

The fragrance of orchids wafting in the wind is clearer, lighter and fainter, but it has not disappeared.The person has disappeared.The murderer, the cold wind, and the ghostly white-robed woman have all disappeared into the dark night, leaving only the noise in the Sihai Tower.

Ji Ran, Qin Ge and Monk Hongye stood on the Drum Tower in Luoyang, quietly watching the farce of moths flying into the flames on the long street.

Qin Ge asked: "Will Chu Liuxiang really appear tonight? There are rumors in the world that he is dead. Is it true?"

Ji Ran said: "There are rumors in the world that Chu Xiangshuai's death was framed by Mr. Qingcheng of the Murong family."

"Murong Qingcheng used his peerless cousin Lin Huanyu to lure Chu Xiangshuai into an eternal abyss of darkness, misery, humiliation and misery, leaving this undefeated legend with no choice but to die. Do you believe it?"

Qin Ge shook his head after hearing this.

So Ji Ran asked him: "Since Murong and Xiangshuai have such a grudge, why does Xiangshuai want to save Murong of this generation?"

Qin Ge was silent, and after a long time he said: "Xiang Shuai is a lover, and he belongs to the public. He is an idol in the eyes of the public. It is impossible and unreasonable to say that he has only one woman in his life. of."

Qin Ge emphasized, "If he only has one woman in his life, at least I will think that he is not worthy of Chu Liuxiang." He did not answer Ji Ran's question, but first said this paragraph that had nothing to do with the topic they were discussing. Ji Ran He listened calmly to what he said.

"Such a person may have deeper emotions than anyone else." Qin Ge said lightly.

"It's difficult for people to understand the emotions of this kind of person." Ji Ran looked at him with sentimentality in her eyes and a smile: "You seem to know more and more things recently."

Qin Ge also smiled.There is also sentimentality in the laughter.

"I think everyone is like this," Qin Ge said quietly, "The years are fleeting and pass by suddenly. If you have one and a close friend, you will die without regrets."

He said: "I think Xiang Shuai must be like this, so even if he died because of Lin Huanyu, he would have no complaints. Besides, Lin Huanyu also died shortly after his disappearance." He said it as lightly as autumn water, but the truth was as thick as spring honey.

"You are thinking of your mother!" Ji Ran broke Qin Ge's fascinated fantasy and said, "It's a pity that he gave up on you after all."

This is not a romantic story full of fantasy, nor is it meant for sentimental boys and girls.

This is a quack thing. ——What kind of people are Jianghu people?
In a certain respect, they may not be considered a kind of person at all, because their thoughts and behaviors are different from others.

Their life experience is like floating clouds, like fallen leaves in the wind or duckweed in the water. They have nothing to hold on to, nothing, not even roots.

All they have is blood.Very hot blood.

They care little about life and death, but value loyalty. For a word, they will do anything.

"Xiang Shuai must save Murong, just because this generation of Murong is adopted from the Lin family." Qin Ge said, "The Lin family and Murong are cousins, and this generation of Murong is Lin Huanyu's direct brother." From that generation Qin Ge seemed to see his own shadow in Murong.

There were two people, and there was nothing between them except an indescribable tenderness.

On that day, Chu Liuxiang once told her that he was willing to do anything for her.

She only wanted him to do one thing. - She asked him to take care of her brother.

"He is my only close relative in this world. I hope you can treat him well. As long as you live, you will not let him be insulted and bullied by others." She said, "As long as you promise me this, I will I am grateful to you whether I am alive or dead."

Chu Liuxiang agreed to her.

With this sentence, if Chu Liuxiang was still alive, how could he let him die in the hands of others?
"Then this plan is undoubtedly successful." Ji Ran asked.

"Even if he succeeds, he will be looked down upon by future generations." Qin Ge said.

"why?"

"Because it's so cruel."

"Cruel?" Ji Ran said, "Soldiers strive to win by using all possible means. When have you ever seen someone who is not cruel on the battlefield?"

"That's not what I mean!" Qin Ge retorted, pondering briefly: "What I mean is that this plan is not only cruel, but also completely inhumane!"

He added emphatically: "On the surface, this plan seems to be very rational and elegant, but in fact it is extremely cruel. Only people who have completely exterminated humanity can do such a thing." He used cruel and cruel words one after another. , cruelty are three nouns to describe this matter, even the lips have turned white with anger.

"The most terrifying thing about this plan is that all the people who died in this plan were innocent and completely unaware of the inside story."

Qin Ge said: "They were originally going to fight for honor for a little loyalty from Jianghu people. Even if they did not hesitate to die, if they knew that they were just a group of tools being used, I believe they would not die in peace."

Qin Ge continued sadly: "In the minds of Jianghu people, this point is very important."

"I understand," Ji Ran's voice was also heavy, "especially Mr. Liu, whose death is really heartbreaking. But how can you be sure that Mr. Liu's actions are not part of the calculations of the people behind the scenes?"

Of course Mr. Liu will die. If he doesn't die, if he breaks the silk screen, this Operation Moth will fail.

But since this operation is called "Operation Moth," the result has already been determined.

A moth flying into the flame can only die.Mr. Liu is a moth, so of course Mr. Liu can only die.

A dead person does not know the inside story, and of course he will not tell others the whole story of the attack. Therefore, the subsequent development of this incident can only fall on the person who is not dead yet.He is actually the mastermind of the entire incident.

——Is there anything in the world that is more difficult for people to understand than this incident?Because if the action succeeds, it is an absolute failure for him; if the action fails, it is a success for him, a complete failure is a complete success, and death has become his greatest victory.

There seemed to be a very gentle cool breeze blowing through the long street, as gentle as spring rain.

But when the wind blew, the lights on both sides of the long street suddenly flashed with strange sparks.

A kind of long, thin and weak spark, which looks a bit like an orchid blooming quietly on a spring night.

The color of the light also changed, as if it had turned into a light and quiet white like an orchid.Suddenly, there seemed to be thousands of brilliant orchids blooming at the same time on this long street.

It was midnight.

"Okay, we've almost finished watching the big show. I'll take you to find the real protagonist who has never appeared, the person you have been looking for for a long time!" After that, Ji Ran left the city, outside Luoyang City. There is a cliff ten miles away, a cliff rising like flying clouds, on the top of the mountain.

A piece of flat stone, the stone is like jade, and I don't know how many feet wide it is.

And on this cliff, a banquet was being held.

There were only four guests and hosts in this banquet, but there were at least four hundred concubines and cooks serving these four people.

This white jade-like flat cliff is a miracle, and this banquet is also a miracle.

Because this person is in this banquet, on this cliff.

Because this person is the person we most want to see.
