Lie down and eat melon in the protagonist group

Chapter 12

"Who knows. At that time, we were listening to the abbot's sermon, and we listened very well. The fifth brother changed his face as soon as he said it, and pulled the fourth sister to leave." Ling Cen pushed her away and stood in front of Ji Wei, "Third sister, what are you doing? Don’t accuse good people wrongly.”

Ling Jing pondered for a moment, then withdrew the murder weapon, grabbed Ling Cen, turned around and ran straight down the mountain.

Ling Qiong quickly stepped forward to apologize: "I'm sorry."

Even though he was ill, he still said cheerfully, "No problem. The young monk sent the donor down the mountain."

Ling Jing hurriedly ran down the mountain and saw two people in the lush forest at the foot of the mountain. They were walking leisurely one behind the other, talking and laughing. Ling Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Jing stopped them and gave Ling Huai a stern look. She didn't ask about the specific situation and just said: "Go home."

The group of people rushed home before sunset.

As soon as she entered the house, Ling Jing said "Ah Huai, follow me" and went back to the house.

Ling Huai followed him into the inner room.

The maid slowly brewed the tea, bowed her head and bowed her eyebrows, exited the room, and gently closed the door.

The aroma of tea filled her nostrils. Ling Jing stared at him through the steam rising from the cup and asked, "What's going on? Acen said it's rare for you to fall out in front of others. After so many years of cultivation, what's wrong with you, King of Huainan?" I’ve never seen it before, but I fell short today, which is rare.”

"Then what's going on with you?" Ling Huai turned back to his guest, "An old acquaintance?"

"I can't say I'm an acquaintance. I've met the young monk a few times. If you really think of him as a monk, you would be looking down upon him. Back then, the Zhou Dynasty court helped the young emperor ascend the throne and appointed King Wuxuan Lin Yilong as the regent to control the government. Lin Yilong closed the door. He also had a group of small court officials to help him with advice. Today's young monk is Lin Yilong's closest confidant and is known as the reincarnation of Zhuge. He tried his best to assist Lin Yilong after he ascended the throne and then disappeared. It is said that he retired to the mountains and forests and did not care about the world. thing."

Ling Huai raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Is he Kuang Yan?"

"Yes." Ling Jing nodded, "He lives in seclusion and is rare to see. After Lin Yilong ascended the throne, rumors about him were released, so it was said in the Southern Zhou Dynasty that Jiao Jiao was as beautiful as a weir, and he had great ideas and plans to promote Buddhism. It was indeed true at that time. People, but I don’t know where they learned from.”

"You know?"

"It is widely said that there are two miraculous doctors, Nanyao Xigu, one good and one evil. Xigu is the high priest of Xuanying Pavilion in Xijiang, also known as Acen. As for Nanyao, because he traveled all over the world, practiced Nanyin, and used medicine to help the world, His whereabouts are elusive, so people in the world may see him but don’t recognize him. He is passed down from mouth to mouth, and it is so mysterious that it is difficult to describe its appearance, let alone its name.”

Ling Huai frowned and said, "The master of Nanyao, the miracle doctor? But according to what I saw today, I didn't call the old monk my master. So you searched the Wenguan Temple and found a doctor named Gui Er." The person? Gui Er is a southern medicine?"

"Yeah." Ling Jing nodded, her eyes suddenly filled with hatred, and she said sarcastically, "I also learned about it by chance. Lin Yilong is a rich man, and he has inherited his father's heavy suspicions. He is so arrogant that he is wary of everyone. But Baimi After all, I was the one who slept with him, so how could I know nothing about it? One night, I sent soup to his study, and saw him hiding a prescription in a hurry. The signature was: "The Master Gui Er Mou, Disciple Kuang" Weir ghostwriting.”

Ling Huai asked: "How do you conclude that Gui Er is the southern medicine?"

Ling Jing sneered, "Back then, the Zhou Kingdom wanted to raise a young son, but did not appoint him Lin Yilong. Isn't it because he has a disease in both legs? The cabinet ministers can rest assured that he will assist the young emperor, isn't it also because he is lame. Oh, let's push it. It would be strange if the people of Zhou Dynasty didn't laugh at the fact that the cripple came to power. Even if they gave those rebellious ministers ten courages, they would not dare to do so. It would be shameful."

Ling Huai said: "I once heard that the regent cured his leg disease. It was said that he moved the world and got the magic medicine, which led to the beautiful talk about the Zen position of Emperor Wendu. I privately thought that Lin Yilong was prepared for a rainy day. Due to the turbulent current situation, he had to leave. Being disabled, I hid behind the scenes and watched the tigers fight, thus reaping the benefits. I never thought that Lin Yilong knew how to make good use of people, and there were so many experts around him. This is my villain's heart. If the miracle doctor Nan Yao really helps me, the young emperor He is weak. He has the throne at his fingertips. It is his right to take the throne." "Bah!" Ling Huai spat without caring about his image, "It was his second brother who conquered the Great Zhou Dynasty for him with real swords and guns. The lifeline of the treasury depends entirely on my eldest sister. I offered him real money and silver, and I was the one who negotiated and won over the wives in the harem. He just used chicken feathers as arrows and enjoyed the results as a freeloader! He is absolutely worthless! Should he be in the position? Damn! He can even tie a dog with a chain. !”

Her words were precise and the last words were vulgar. Ling Huai suppressed the corners of his mouth and couldn't help but cough a few times.

Ling Jing held her forehead and was depressed for a long time, took a sip of tea, and said in a dull tone: "Tell me, what's going on with you? Ah Huai, I have always been your sister. It's now this time, and I want to hear the truth. Before. Seeing that you don't want to say more, I feel guilty about you, and you have a prejudice against me, so I don't want to expose your scars and question you. But now, we always hold on to the past and let go of the troubles. It will do no good to you or me to have a knot in your heart."

Ling Huai lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, clasping his fingers into fists. He was silent for a long time, and finally slowly spoke: "A year ago, you asked me about A Dang's whereabouts. I said she was recuperating in a temple with a skin injury. I was not trying to trick you. , just hiding something."

Ling Jing's heart was pounding and she hurriedly asked: "What are you hiding?"

He said with difficulty: "It is true that the fire caused injuries to the skin, but the appearance was completely destroyed."

Ling Jing forced herself to stay calm and said with a trembling voice: "Acen was not cured? That shouldn't be the case. Although he is good at poisoning, he knows medicine after all. His medical skills are so good, there is no way he can't be cured."

He closed his eyes and murmured: "When we first met again, she had already shaved her head and wore monk's robes. I asked her why she had shaved her head and put on monk's robes. She coaxed me and said that it was to heal injuries. She shaved her head to purify herself. Wearing a robe is to provide a loose fit for defecation and to prevent rubbing against new skin.”

"I don't doubt her, I believe everything is true. Since then, I often go to the temple to look for her. Not only can I see her every time, but I always have to notify her through the monk in the temple first, so that I can see her when I have time. Once in the temple, I The teacher lectured on the sutras. The lecturer's face was similar to that of the monk who is now in Guiyi, and the sutras he was teaching were exactly the same. She was sitting cross-legged and listening to the sutras as she did today. At first, I thought she was acting on a whim and was recovering from her injuries and couldn't bear it anymore, so I went there. Listening to the scriptures for curiosity. Later."

He paused suddenly.

Ling Jing asked impatiently: "What happened next?"

He looked out the window and said with a faint smile: "She left without leaving a word. I asked the monk in the temple, and the monk said that a few days ago, the three monks and apprentices who stayed in the temple had gone out to travel. The return date is uncertain, but we will see you again if we are destined."

Ling Jing couldn't hold herself up, pressed the tea table, and murmured: "Traveling monk, master and disciple, Ah Dang, she has entered Buddhism..."

Ling Huai lowered his head and stared at the green stems floating in the tea cup, "I asked Acen about her whereabouts, and he said where the wanderer came from."

The memories of the previous life surged into his mind like waves, lingering in his mind, making his heart feel like a knife...

He asked Acen sharply: "She hasn't recovered from her injuries, how can she be allowed to travel?"

"What kind of injury? Where did it come from? She has already recovered from her injuries."

"Her face!"

"Face? Hahahaha, King Huainan, King Huainan, no, I should call you His Majesty now. When you climb to such a high position, you don't think that the fourth sister will still follow you as wholeheartedly as before, right? It's really funny. Which dynasty and generation? , the king of a country will appoint a queen with a ferocious face like a monster? She is rejecting you and rejecting everyone, can't you understand?! If you don't give up on her, she will lose her face! And I think You are too greedy to have the world in your hands and yet want to raise a case to raise eyebrows."
