[Comprehensive martial arts] Holy Monk

But after Fang Tianzhi asked his brothers to take Xie Xun back to the temple secretly as soon as possible, he went with Zhao Min and traveled southwest again.One of the two is a wanted criminal, the other is the princess of the imperial court, and it is inconvenient for them to reveal their whereabouts too much, so they deliberately avoided going to the fortress city along the way, and avoided many wars along the way.After wading across the mountains in this way, seeing the wonderful scenery and wonderful lands all over the place, until mid-autumn, I arrived in Yunnan as I wished.

At noon that day, the two of them were walking on Moshang, when a clear and melodious singing sound came from the mountain.Zhao Minben was chatting and laughing with Fang Tianzhi, he could not help but stop and listen to his singing, which was so touching and unique.

At about the time of cupping tea, the singing was getting closer and closer, as if the visitor had already reached the foot of the mountain by the stream.The two looked away, only to see a girl in a blue shirt carrying a medicine basket suddenly emerged from the shadow of a lush tree.When she looked up, she saw a pink cheek like a flower, which was fresh and moving, and the silver ornaments in the black braids on her head were shining, reflecting her bright smile.

Zhao Min patted the folding fan on his hand and sighed, "What a beauty."

The two of them were a little far away from the young girl, although the young girl didn't hear what Zhao Min said, she also saw their appearance.Her eyes flickered on Fang Tianzhi's bald head, and then her two wonderful eyes focused on Zhao Min.

Zhao Min is now wearing a white shirt and a square scarf on his head. If you don't look carefully, you look like a handsome young man.It's just that she didn't realize it, and when she saw his gaze, she smiled faintly.

The girl was taken aback for a moment, her cheeks flushed instantly.After looking at Zhao Min affectionately in her eyes for a while, she suddenly opened her mouth and shouted something crisply.

Zhao Min didn't know the local dialect, so she asked Fang Tianzhi, "Do you know what she said?"

Fang Tianzhi naturally didn't understand either.

Such a chance encounter, Zhao Minyuan didn't take it seriously, after listening to the song, she smiled at the girl again, said farewell, and went to the other side of the stream with Fang Tianzhi.Seeing this, the girl was impatient, and shouted something behind the two of them, but it failed to attract Zhao Min to stop and look back.

This place is not far from Jizu Mountain, and the two arrived at the bank of Xitan River in a short time.

Revisiting the old place, the stream and trees are beautiful, just like what I saw yesterday.Arriving in the camellia forest, seeing the first burst of fragrant clouds everywhere, just like pearls embellished with jade, piled up with splendid embroidery, Zhao Min was delighted to see Meixin, and was quite excited, so he commented on the varieties of camellias here with Fang Tianzhi one by one.Fang Tianzhi walked while listening, and when he was in front of a white Chang'e tree, his heart moved, and he glanced sideways at Zhao Min.

The shadows of flowers are floating, the sun is clear, Zhao Min stands in the green leaves and golden shadows, when his eyebrows are flying and smiling, his face is really beautiful and brilliant.She was talking eloquently, when she caught Fang Tianzhi's gaze from the corner of the eye, she smiled slightly and said, "Why are you looking at me all of a sudden?"

Fang Tianzhi turned his thoughts back, and upon hearing the sound, he replied: "The princess is well-informed and has elegant taste, the poor monk admires him very much."

Zhao Min knew that his words were not right, so he didn't care about it, he folded his fan and pointed forward: "Go ahead and have a look."

The two passed through the forest, and climbed up the steps again. When they were near the Sleeping Buddha Temple, Fang Tianzhi thought of the young lama he had met by chance.It's just that it's autumn, so I'm afraid he hasn't been able to come here yet.Just thinking of this, the two turned around the corner of the mountain road, and saw a stone Buddha with a height of one and a half people lying on the grass next to the first stone steps.The stone Buddha's face is simple, only the five senses can be vaguely seen, now half of his arm is smashed, his body is covered with moss, showing a very dilapidated appearance.

Seeing this, Zhao Min was quite curious and said, "Why is there such a dilapidated Buddha statue lying here and no one cares about it? The reconciliation of Hesi is too tired and lazy."

Fang Tianzhi had some vague guesses in his heart, so he didn't mention it first, but continued to climb the stairs, and went to the sleeping Buddhist temple to pay homage to the Buddha.The temple respected his seniority, and specially sent a monk of the same seniority to accompany him.After the salute of the hatchback, Fang Tianzhi chatted with him for a while, and then asked: "Brother, please, why is there a stone Buddha lying down on the stone steps in front of the temple?"

The monk's name was Zeng Le, and he heard the words: "I don't know something. Tubo monks have always carried scriptures and Buddha statues to worship Jizu Mountain. This temple is one of the must-see places. The stone Buddha was just three years old. The previous lama brought it up the mountain."

Fang Tianzhi couldn't help asking: "The lama's name is Lunzhu Dorji?"

Zeng Le was slightly surprised, and said: "Does Junior Brother recognize this person?"

Zhao Min listened interestingly from the side, and turned his eyes to Fang Tianzhi when he heard the words.

Fang Tianzhi didn't pay any attention to it, but replied to Zeng Le: "More than ten years ago, the poor monk had the honor to visit Guibao Temple, and formed a relationship with him, and knew the reason why he came here carrying the giant statue of Buddha. "

Zeng Le suddenly said: "So that's the case. Now that the younger brother knows the cause, it's easy to talk about it. Three years ago, Hui Shan, the elder of our temple, had a hard time. He happened to hear about him, so he specially waited for him in front of the stone steps. Come on. I don't know what Master Uncle said to him that day, he was stunned for a while, then straightened up suddenly, and threw the stone Buddha towards the side of the road."

Zhao Min asked enthusiastically, "And then?"

Zeng Le recognized that she was a woman, but when she saw that she was wearing men's clothing, she pretended to be confused and only thought she was a man.Hearing this, he said: "Then Lunzhu Dorje and the master and uncle were separated by a foot away, and made a handprint in vain. After this handprint match, he stood still for a while, then ran down the mountain suddenly, and never came back again. Uncle Master didn't tell us the truth about it, he just told us not to touch the stone Buddha, just let it lie there." He smiled wryly, "Because of this stone Buddha, the poor monk has not been able to do it for the past few years. I don’t know how many people I’ve explained to.”

After Fang Tianzhi heard it, he couldn't help feeling a little bit of emotion in his heart, he put his palms together and said to Zeng Le: "I don't know where Elder Huishan of your temple is now, may the poor monk have a chance to see him?"

Seeing this, Zeng Le bowed ten times in return, and sighed: "Amitabha, after the master uncle and Lunzhu Dorje checked the mudra, they were transformed within a month."

Fang Tianzhi was startled when he heard the words, and after a while he said respectfully: "Amitabha!"

When something happened here, the two bid farewell to Zeng Le and went back to Jinying Temple.After paying homage to the Buddha in Jinying Temple, Fang Tianzhi exchanged greetings with his old friend Huiming for a while, then bid farewell politely, and left the temple together with Zhao Min.

As soon as he left the temple gate, Zhao Min breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Without the company of the great monk, it is indeed much more free. Since you have been here before, you must know a lot about the beautiful place. Where are we going next?" ?”

Fang Tianzhi thought for a while and said: "There is a scenic spot here in summer and autumn, called Huashou Qinglei. The poor monk climbed the mountain in winter last time, so he didn't have the chance to see it. Why don't we try our luck now?"

Zhao Min did not hesitate, and said calmly, "In that case, please lead the way."

At this time, the two had reached the summit, walking among the mountains, they felt that their clothes were like the wind, and they stepped on the sea of ​​clouds.After walking back for a while, Fang Tianzhi suddenly heard the sound of star-point muffled thunder amidst the drumming of the mountain wind, like a startled drum with long horns.

The two of them were refreshed, and they couldn't help speeding up their steps. After a short while, the peak turned around, and at the open cliff in front of them, there was a huge stone gate standing on the top of the sky.Just at the right time, a thunderstorm suddenly struck, and the thunder oscillated between the Shimen and the valley, and it became continuous in an instant, and the sound of the gods resounded throughout the universe.

Fang Tianzhi stood on the rocks and watched, and saw black clouds forming in a valley in the distance, lightning and thunder were fierce, just like silver dragons churning, dragons howling, descending from the sky amidst the rolling clouds and tides, it was breathtaking .In front of Huashou Gate, the sun is bright and the autumn wind is blowing. Listening to the thunder and watching the electricity here is like being in it, and it seems to be beyond it. It is really mysterious and mysterious.

The two stood side by side in the wind, and after listening quietly for a while, they came back to their senses silently.Zhao Min withdrew his gaze from the far valley, and carefully looked at the Huashou Gate at the top of the cliff in front of him.With this look, she suddenly realized that there were two people standing quietly under the stone door.

The two men wore green hats and cloth clothes, dressed as masters and servants.Among them, the servant looks very alert, he has already seen Fang Tianzhi and the two of them, and they are silently looking towards this side.But the master stared blankly at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance, wondering what he was thinking.

Zhao Min and the servant looked at each other for a while, then suddenly said to Fang Tianzhi: "I will meet these two in the past." After finishing speaking, she walked towards the stone gate first without waiting for Fang Tianzhi to reply.When they approached, before the two could speak, the middle-aged man dressed as a servant first bowed slightly to Zhao Min and said, "I have met Princess Shaomin."

Zhao Min frowned slightly, and asked, "Do you recognize me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the master who watched the cloud suddenly looked back.Fang Tianzhi took a closer look, and saw that he was not in doubt about his age, but his head and temples were grizzled, his face was haggard, and he looked like he was suffering from chronic illness and fatigue.He didn't recognize this person, but Zhao Min recognized him at a glance, she was stunned for a while, and said: "Prime Minister You—"

The tourist who watched the clouds glanced at her, and said with a slight smile, "It's really you. Minmin, why did you come here?"

Zhao Min said: "I feel bored, so I ran out to play. The Prime Minister came here from a long way, did something serious happen?"

When Fang Tianzhi heard this, he also knew who the person in front of him was.This man's name was Tuotuo Timur, and he was an official to the right prime minister of Zhongshu. He once presided over the reform, restored the imperial examination system, exempted the common people from tax arrears, and established many policies to improve the situation of the Han people.Although Fang Tianzhi didn't know his appearance, he had heard of his name, but he met him in Yunnan for some reason.

He was thinking of this when he heard Tuotuo Timur say: "I am no longer the prime minister. The Holy Majesty ordered me to come here to be a commoner." He said it tactfully, but Fang Tianzhi and the two knew that he was probably forced Dismissed and exiled here.

Zhao Min turned pale with shock when he heard the words, and said after a while: "How could this happen?"

Tuotuo Timur smiled again: "Minmin, is this your friend?" He said, then turned his head to look at Fang Tianzhi, the two of them met each other's eyes, and they both felt that the other's eyes were clear and deep, Totally unusual.

When Fang Tianzhi heard his question, he put his palms together indifferently and said, "The poor monk fulfills his wishes, and the benefactor is courteous."

Tuotuo Timur thought for a moment, and said to Zhao Min: "Minmin, why are you together with a traitor? Does your father know?"

Zhao Min came to his senses and was struggling with how to answer when he suddenly heard the sound of hurried steps behind him.Everyone followed the sound, and saw a monk from the Jinying Temple approaching quickly, and when he got close, he said to Tuotuo Timur: "Someone came to the temple to report the news, please return to the mansion quickly, saying that there is an imperial decree." arrive."

Tuotuo Timur was refreshed when he heard the words, he immediately calmed down, nodded and said: "I see, I'll go back now." After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhao Min again, as if he had something to say.But Zhao Min didn't wait for him to speak, and said with a smile: "Since you have something important to do, Minmin dare not delay, I will visit the mansion another day."

Tuotuo Timur looked at her quietly for a long while, and finally nodded and said: "Okay. Go back to Dadu as soon as possible. After all, you are the princess of the imperial court. You should be more careful when traveling in diplomacy, so as not to make a big mistake." So After saying goodbye, he stopped staying and hurried down the mountain.

Zhao Min waited for the backs of the master and servant to disappear, and stood quietly amidst the thunder for a moment, then forced a smile to Fang Tianzhi and said, "Let's go too."

Fang Tianzhi saw her walking ahead alone, as if he was restless, thinking about what Tuotuo Timur said, he couldn't help sighing, and advised her: "Princess, what the benefactor said just now is reasonable. You might as well soon Go back to Dadu."

Zhao Min heard the words, suddenly stopped and looked back, fixedly staring at him.

In the bright sunlight on the top of the cliff, the gaze in her eyes pierced Fang Tianzhi like lightning, but it seemed to be just two surging soft waves.After a while, she turned her head and said softly, "That's not what I thought." She sighed and continued, "Let's follow the prime minister to see what the imperial decree is. If the sage calls the prime minister back, then I will Don't worry."
