blue bird song

Chapter 22 No shortage of masters (2)
"No!" Qing Que flatly refused, "Although my father and mother don't want me anymore, my parents don't dare to harm my body, hair and skin!"

The righteousness is awe-inspiring and high-sounding.

Xinci smiled brightly and went out.It didn't take long, and he was holding a plain black wooden tray in his hand. On the plate were two bowls of porridge, a plate of soft white and fat buns, and a plate of pickled radish.

"Senior brother sent this over from Lingquan Temple. There is no such thing in Dabei nunnery." Xinci handed a bowl of porridge to Qingque, and sighed: "Eat these all day, my mouth is extremely tasteless and tasteless."

"What's the matter." Qing Que didn't care, "You find a way to get some salt and seasoning, and I'll catch a fish to roast in the afternoon. If there are pheasants, wild boars or something nearby, I will also hunt them and roast them."

The compassionate index finger moved, "Success, I'll get the seasoning!" Drinking plain porridge and eating pickled radish, the aroma of fresh grilled fish, grilled chicken, and roasted pig lingered in his mind, infinitely fascinated.

After breakfast, Xin Ci left with the wooden tray, gearing up to get salt and seasonings with great ambition.There is meat to eat!A bright smile bloomed on her lips, which were as beautiful as rose petals.

Not long after Xinci left, the monk who brought Qingque over yesterday came. "No one paid attention to anyone this afternoon and night, and she didn't even have food. She should be wilting now." Shaminy thought that Qingque would lie on the bed, huddled in the corner of the bed, with a helpless expression on her face. , confusion, fear.Unexpectedly, after she pushed open the door, she saw Qing Que sitting cross-legged on the bed, watching her nose, nose, mouth and heart, meditating calmly.

Saminy opened his eyes wide in surprise, he couldn't believe it.

Qingque sat like an old monk in meditation, as if he didn't see the novice who pushed the door and entered.Saminy stood in a daze for a while, then stepped forward to push Qingque, "The abbot wants to see you, come with me quickly."

Pull up the blue bird and walk to the door.Although she is a novice, she is actually about fifteen or sixteen years old, much taller than Qingque, and much stronger.Qing Que was dragged by her and hurried out of the house.

Walking through a section of deserted places, passing through a few simple wooden houses, there are gradually brick houses in front, and the desolation is no longer gradually.The novice monk led the blue sparrow around three times and arrived at a secluded courtyard. The houses in this courtyard are all made of green bricks, clean and spacious.

Shamini ordered with a straight face, "Wait here!" He walked in lightly, holding his breath.Qingque was standing in the yard, looking up to the sky, only to see the sky was high, vast and cloudless.

After a while, the monk came out, put his hands together in salute, and politely invited Qingque in.Qingque was also extremely gentle, she nodded with a smile, "Thank you, thank you."

After Qingque walked in, she was a little surprised.The room was extremely simple, without any decorations, and a middle-aged nun sat on the futon, twirling Buddhist beads with a solemn expression.

Qing Que looked at the scene in front of her, and thought about it.

"Tan Yue stays in our nunnery, is there any inconvenience?" The abbot opened his eyes and asked Qing Que politely.

"Thank you Master for your concern, there is no inconvenience." Qing Que imitated her polite and blunt tone, and her expression was as solemn and solemn as her.

"Are you comfortable with food and accommodation?" the abbot asked lightly, with a sense of routine.

"I have never tried the food at your place, so I dare not speak nonsense." Qing Que leaned forward, "I came here at noon yesterday afternoon, and the monk ordered me to fast."

Surprise flashed across the abbot's expressionless face.The little girl didn't cry and complain about her grievances, but she didn't just accept it in silence. She said it very euphemistically: the monk didn't give her food.

"Bigu is good for health." The abbot's voice was slow and clear, "You have been clothed and well-fed for too long, and you have too many obstacles. Living in a poor place and doing bigu is to save you, not to harm you."

"What the mage said is of course the most reasonable and famous words." Qing Que praised slowly, "I believe that after a hundred days of bigu, I will be able to walk and live freely, with the same strength as before, and my face is light and smooth, refined and clean."

The abbot was silent for a while, and then explained gently, "Since you came to this poor place for Mrs. Ningguo, you can see that you still have filial piety. Go, the girl of Ningguo's mansion should be gentle, humble, and obedient."

Qing Que didn't say a word, and bowed to leave.

Qing Que got up and walked out, the abbot looked at this beautiful and decisive little girl, lost his mind for a moment.It is not easy to raise such a child into a timid and obedient concubine daughter, who bows her head and listens to Mrs. Ningguo, obeys orders from Mrs. Shizi and Mrs. Shisun, and dare not disobey her elders or aunt.I thought that she would be able to serve the Ningguo government after living in the nunnery for three or two months, but now it seems that she is too big.This child is not easy to deal with.

The child was easy to take care of when she was young, but now she is six or seven years old, and she has studied with Mr. Yang Ge, so she has some knowledge and is not easy to manipulate.

Samini was waiting for Qing Que outside, "The second young lady of the Yang family sent a maid to come and see you." He spoke lukewarmly, and brought Qing Que to the meeting place.

"Niuniu, is the food here delicious? Is the quilt thick?" The visitor was sent by Nanny Lin. Qingque knew her. She was Mama Lu who was in charge of the kitchen. Looking at it, she still held Qingque's little hand and asked distressedly.

"Go back and tell Nanny Lin that everything is fine with me." Qing Que smiled sweetly, "Tell Grandpa and the old man, don't miss me, I eat well here, live well, and everything is fine!"

Mama Lu looked around for a long time, "How do I look, Niu Niu has lost some weight?" Saminy said coolly beside her, "I only came here in the afternoon yesterday. Could it be that she has lost weight from hunger?"

Lu Ma took Qing Que and explained a lot of things, Fang reluctantly left.Shamini sent Lu's mother away, and gave Qing Que an angry look, "I've lived here since I was born, and nothing happened! You're so delicate, you've only lived here for one night, and you've lost weight!"

How could Qingque have the same knowledge as her, so she just smiled.Master Fairy is still waiting to eat grilled fish and grilled chicken, hurry up and go back.

Shamini took her back to the shabby house, and couldn't help asking her before leaving, "What are you doing here alone?" Qing Que jumped onto the bed, sat cross-legged, and told her solemnly, "Meditate, back Buddhist scriptures."

Saminy snorted, turned and left.

Until noon, no one came, and of course there was no meal. "This really wants me to make a bigu." Qing Que rubbed his stomach, "You want me to make a bigu, don't you?"

Qingque got up and went out, and went to the creek along the road yesterday.This time she gathered a pile of firewood, caught three fish, and cleaned it up happily.Brother Hu, the skill you taught me is really useful, I don’t need to go hungry!I don't want to become immortal.

"The seasoning is here." With a feminine voice, she waved her hand freely, and a package landed beside Qingque.Qingque opened it and looked, and cheered, "Fairy, you are so capable and complete!" He happily spread all kinds of seasonings on the fish, and couldn't wait for the taste, so he directly roasted it on the fire.

The tempting smell of fish floated far away.

When the fish is cooked, Juechi falls down like a leaf, and eats with Qingque and Xinci. "The fairy is more relaxed than him, and he is more serious than the fairy, but they all eat fish." Qing Que was eating delicious grilled fish, thinking about this question in her small head, "Monks, nuns, shouldn't they be vegetarians?"

"It's delicious." Jue Chi admired, and nodded compassionately.

Qing Que leaned over, "Well, your teacher, don't you abstain from meat and fish? The fairy is so loose, it's okay to like fish, but you are so dignified, why...?"

Juechi smiled slightly, "Little Qingque, yesterday you refused to learn from your teacher, so you don't know the background of me and my junior sister."

Xinci finished eating the fish, and took the little green sparrow, "Girl, let's pay homage to your master. After you've done your homage, I'll tell you who my senior brother and I are."

Qingque was stunned, and giggled, "So you are not a real bhikkhuni, and he is not a real monk either!"

Jue Chi smiled and said, "Junior Sister and I are both disciples of the Lishan School. Lishan is also called the Thousand Buddha Mountain, so we are also called the Thousand Buddha School. Although it is called the Thousand Buddha School, it has nothing to do with Buddhism. Need to leave home."

Qingque nodded her head again and again, okay, okay, my hair is safe, and I won't be shaved off for following them.How can it be done without hair, it's so ugly.

"Junior Sister and I are here to do something at the order of our master." Jue Chi looked at Qing Que with a smile, "Son, it is a fate that you met us. If you think about it carefully, you may wish to worship us As a teacher?"

"Yes, yes." Qingque giggled, "As long as the fairy hugs me to sleep every night, and you play with me every day, of course I am willing."

A master and a master, referred to as "father, mother", I am willing!
Jue Chi declared the precepts of the Lishan School, "The first commandment of this school is disrespect to elders; the second commandment is against harming innocent people; the third commandment is against adultery; the fourth commandment is against stealing property; the fifth commandment is to collude with evil spirits." Master, kindness is a little master.

After Qingque finished her apprenticeship, she dragged Juechi to sit next to Xinci, squeezed herself in the middle, and was so satisfied that she couldn't describe it.Jue Chi and Xin Ci are the first disciples to accept, they also find it fresh and interesting, with smiles on their faces.

"Master, Master Fairy, what are you doing here?" Qing Que asked happily, holding Jue Chi with one hand and Xin Ci with the other.

Xinci stretched out her hand to rub her little head, and said with a smile: "You don't understand even if you tell me about such a big thing. Qing Que, you are still young, just listen to the rumors and practice, and don't worry about anything else."

Qingque shook her head repeatedly, one to express her great dissatisfaction, and the other to not want Xinci to mess with her hair any longer.Originally, I didn't comb my hair this morning, okay, if I rub it again, it will be even more messy.

Jue Chi sat solemnly, nodded, expressing his agreement with what Xinci had just said.Little Qingque, you are still a child at all, such things should not be told to you.

Qing Que ran down angrily and stood there, looking at Juechi and Xinqing with malicious intentions, "I don't care about anything else except practicing the exercises? Do I want to catch fish, grill fish, hunt pheasants and roast pheasants? Don't read and write to learn the truth?"

Xinci couldn't help laughing, "This little girl, I don't need to be hammered!" Jue Chi also wanted to laugh, Xiao Qingque, your menacing appearance...is really interesting.

Jue Chi waved at Qing Que, Qing Que was overjoyed, and sat back in the middle of the master and the fairy master, holding each other and smiling brightly.That's right, tell me quickly, don't treat me like an ignorant brat.

Juechi pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "There was a strange incident 30 years ago. Tens of thousands of Taoist nuns and nuns were all arrested by the government and sent to the capital. These nuns and nuns were sent to the capital. Afterwards, they were interrogated one by one, and they were tortured."

Qingque shuddered, subconsciously looking at Xinci.Xinci is a bhikkhuni, commonly known as a "nun", who would have been arrested 30 years ago.Xinci patted her little hand, "It happened 30 years ago, don't be afraid, little Qingque."

Jue Chi shook Qing Que's little hand, frowned and said: "It's a little cold, could it be that the child wears less? Martial sister, you hold her." Xin Ci really hugged Qing Que in her arms, and said with a low smile: "Little master, give it to you." Keep it warm, okay?" Qing Que nodded obediently.

Qingque snuggled into her kind and soft embrace, looking at Juechi with big eyes.Jue Chi smiled slightly, "The source, we have to start with the Xieshi Race. Thirty years ago, in Xiishi Village, a group of people followed the Holy Mother of the White Lotus to rise up against the imperial court. Within two months, they killed two people sent by the imperial court. Commanding all the envoys, killing and injuring thousands of officers and soldiers, the momentum was huge. The imperial court ordered people to go to recruit security, followed by an imperial decree to recruit security, followed by 30 elite soldiers. Xieshizhai agreed on the surface, but secretly abandoned the village and fled."

"Afterwards, the imperial court searched and arrested many leaders of Xiishizhai. However, there was no news of the leader, the Holy Mother of the White Lotus. She was not only the Holy Mother of the White Lotus, but also known as the Mother of the Buddha. The court suspected that she was either a Taoist nun or a A nun, so the whole world is being hunted, just to capture her."

Qing Que blinked her eyes wide, "Then, did you find that Buddha concubine in the end?" Juechi shook his head, "No, all the Taoist nuns and nuns in the heaven searched, but they didn't capture that Buddha concubine."

Qingque said "Oh".

Juechi went on to say: "People all over the world think that the imperial court is going to hunt down the Buddha mother, but they don't know that there is another mystery behind it. The reason why the imperial court expends so much energy is not only for the Buddha mother, but also for the sake of the Buddha mother. With the book of war on her body, and a sword from ancient times."

"This Buddhist mother was poor since she was a child, but the martial arts and military skills she used when she fought against the army and killed the two court commanders are amazing. There are rumors that she got a stone box by chance. Among them are military books written by experts and strangers, and a famous ancient sword, Xuanyuan Xiayu Sword."

"Xuanyuan Xiayu sword was cast by the gods from the first mountain of copper for the Yellow Emperor, and later passed on to Xia Yu. On one side of the sword body are engraved with the sun, moon and stars, and on the other side are engraved with mountains, rivers and vegetation. On one side of the sword handle are written the techniques of farming and animal husbandry, and on the other side are written the strategies of unifying the world. How can the imperial court let such a divine sword go."

"However, after arresting the nuns and Taoist nuns of the entire heavenly dynasty, they have not found the whereabouts of the Buddha's mother or the whereabouts of the divine sword. Xuanyuan Xia Yujian is still missing."

Qing Que was fascinated by what she heard, poked her head out of her compassionate heart, and asked Jue Chi attentively, "Master, this divine sword is in Xiayi, right? That's why you and the fairy master are guarding here."

Jue Chi smiled, "Although he missed, it is not far away. No one in the world knows the whereabouts of that Buddha mother, but the teacher happened to save one of her confidantes. Before his death, the confidant revealed that the last time he saw her was At that time, it was in this Great Compassion Temple."

Qingque was very proud, you see I'm smart, I guessed it right away.

Jue Chi looked at her amusedly, then frowned suddenly and said, "Little Qingque, what did you call me just now? Master is Master, what is Shifu?" At first he didn't pay attention, but now he came back to it.

Qing Que spoke convincingly, "Father is Daddy, and Daddy is Father, what's the difference?" Xinci patted her, "Come on, you can call me Little Master, but can you call me Little Master?"

Qing Que opened his mouth to say something, giggled, and swallowed it back.If this is called Shi Niang, there must be a good fight, forget it, forget it.If the fairy is annoyed and doesn't hug me to sleep tonight, wouldn't it be a small loss for me?
Jueyuan and Xinci looked at each other and smiled, both took this naughty boy for granted.

This day, the three of them chased each other by the stream again, laughing and laughing.Of course Juechi and Xinci are not just playing with Qingque, they are teaching her martial arts.Qing Que reacted very quickly, what Jue Chi taught her, she really knew everything from what she heard, learned from one example, and made Jue Chi very pleasantly surprised.

Exhausted from playing, Qingque went back to the hut and sat cross-legged for a while to do her homework. She was warm and snuggled into Xinci's arms, and fell asleep.In his sleep, there was still a smile on his little face.

Xinci heard three beeps on the window, knew it was the signal from her senior brother, carefully put the little girl in her arms away, and slipped out lightly.

"I've checked, and this child is the daughter of Deng Qi, the grandson of Duke Ning's mansion. Her mother is gone, and the mother-in-law is afraid that she won't be easy to discipline, so she wants to send her to the Great Compassion Temple to grind her temper." When they met, Juechi was brief. tell her.

Xinci spat, "For such an older child, living alone in such a remote and desolate place without food, this is not tempering your temper, it is fatal! Fortunately, the little Qingque is cheerful and self-improving, I can break it with a dagger, and I can catch fish and grill it. Otherwise, I would be so hungry and exhausted by now! I would be so scared that I would lose my soul!"

Jue Chi was silent for a moment, "In the inner houses of rich families, there are many ways to kill people without blood. Junior sister, this is nothing, there are more ruthless ones."

Xinci felt quite guilty, and felt that she shouldn't bring up this matter.Brother, he also comes from a rich family.He was forced to run away from home, only to escape with his life.

Under the cold moonlight, Jue Chi's handsome face was full of loneliness.

Xinci worriedly asked: "What kind of government is Qingque's family? If his family insists that the child go back to the capital, what should we do? We can't snatch the child from her father."

Jue Chi pondered and said: "It's okay. His family sent Qing Que to ask the nunnery master to discipline him and temper his temper. It will take at least three or two months. Besides, Qing Que has always lived in Xiayi and has never returned to the capital. But there are What happened, the master should have a message by then, and everything is easy to talk about."
