female catcher

The lotus flowers in the courtyard are just showing their heads, but the slight ripples in the pond add to the worries.The censer and the green lamp are the ancient Buddha's words, Amitabha recites all the words and flies the lonely gull.

In the Siguo hall, the incense burns in front of the rebirth tablet, the summer sun shines through the window, and the breeze turns two or three pages of Buddhist scriptures. A monk and a monk sit cross-legged in front of a wooden table, chanting scriptures and Buddhist gatha, and the world of mortals forgets.

"Bodhi does not have a tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, where is the dust. Now I will mention Huineng in Zen poems, and then study the "Diamond Sutra" to realize that 'all appearances are false; If you see all appearances and non-appearances, you will see the Tathagata' this statement." Monk Liaokong came to Feng Piaoxu again to talk about Zen, "All dharmas and appearances are not the reality itself, not paranoid or greedy, and deal with everything with an empty and free mind. To be calm. The Buddha said, "All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and lightning, and you should observe it like this. "Clear the mind and see the nature, so you can't stir up dust..."

Ever since Feng Piaoxu came to see the rebirth cards of Monk Hua, Liaochen and others in Siguo Hall, Feng Piaoxu's daily life is not only recuperating Buddhist scriptures and burning sacrificial scriptures, but also reciting Buddhist scriptures and burning sacrificial rites every few days. Lecture on Buddhism, and then leave homework, although there is no pressure and seldom talk, but Feng Piaoxu will always finish the homework with heart, and come to think about it every day to remove dust and add fragrance.

She never wandered around in Houshan Temple, even if she knew that Yaohong and others were at the foot of the mountain, if Yaohong and others wanted to see her, they had to get the permission of Shaolin monks, not every time they could see her, but no one was dissatisfied .This is already regarded as confinement, but they all follow it tacitly.

It’s just that no amount of peace in Shaolin can match the sad past when waking up, the missing in a dream at midnight, Feng Piaoxu would like to be imprisoned in Shaolin, but she never got real peace. Behind her serious schoolwork is an empty heart , is lost soul at a loss.Every time Liao Kong talked about Zen, he felt something, and he would stop halfway through the speech and let her continue to extract Buddhist scriptures. It was supposed to be a few pages a day, but she overfulfilled every time. Liao Kong just shook his head at this.

Today was no exception. As he talked, he realized that Feng Piaoxu had been staring out of the window in a daze for a long time, so he also stopped, which interrupted Feng Piaoxu's thoughts.

"Master, have you finished the Buddhist teachings for today?"

Liao Kong shook his head and looked outside, "What's outside?"

"Pond, green bamboo, lotus, breeze, sunlight and—" Feng Piaoxu paused for a moment, then looked outside again, "Xinou."

"Xuan Chuang does not reflect these things, and Shaolin Xinou will not fly here. How can you see it? When the heart moves, everything moves, and if the heart does not move, it will not hurt." Liao Kong pinched the rosary in his hand, "Since After the girl surnamed Qin left, you became more and more uneasy. Copying Buddhist scriptures is the most fearful of impetuosity, and what I want is not quantity, so you don’t have to copy scriptures and burn sacrifices to spirit tablets in the future, just read the Buddhist scriptures for you when you have time.”

"To tell you the truth, the scripture you gave me, forgive me for my stupidity, so I can't study it." Feng Piaoxu was not humble and unwilling, and gave her an unnamed scripture, and she couldn't read it every time after opening it. After a few lines, I can no longer read it.

"Calm down, I can understand. If you have made a mistake, why should you be obsessed with regret? If you have no peace, why should you be obsessed? Life is not easy, and it is not easy to be relieved. The Buddha saves those who are destined. Wind benefactor, death and resurrection. Pure Land. Do what you can and should do." After finishing speaking, Liao Kong got up and cleaned up those spiritual tablets, and did not let them stay in the Siguo Hall anymore.

Feng Piaoxu stared blankly at Kong slowly leaving, thinking that there was no spiritual place in the hall, and suddenly felt empty.She understood that Abbot Shaolin was helping her to let go of the shackles in her heart. Since she came here, she has been living passively, her body has been recuperated, but her heart has nowhere to rest. "The other shore, where should it be?"

She sighed faintly, got up and walked out of the meditation room, walked across the small pond in the green garden, she stood in the sun and lost her mind, but the floating clouds covered the sun and cast shade for her, here even the breeze was kind to her.Suddenly I thought of Nangong Haotian. In the end, he still won. If there was more trust and bravery in each other, would everything be different?

No one answered, she also shook her head and went back to the room, she had nothing to do, she copied a few pages of scriptures and then stopped writing, seeing Long Yuan hanging in the room, she thought of Jian Chi saying that Bi Luo asked her to bury Long Yuan in the In front of Yun Tianxing's grave, only if he dares to bury it can he feel relieved.

"Buddha has a predestined person, it's not easy to let go. Have you even thought about my state of mind?" Feng Piaoxu smiled wryly.

relieved?What is forgiveness?

She came to Shaolin for so long and thought about this question for the first time, is it to let go?Or remember?

Nangong Biluo said that her sword heart was called, and she didn't regret it. '

Feng Piaoxu seemed to be able to see Nangong Biluo smiling and saying this before her eyes. She was calm and firm, which always made her feel a kind of inexplicable stupidity and stubbornness.

She said it wasn't a bad description.

Feng Piaoxu smiled for no reason, and after laughing, she suddenly felt a sense of calmness. The Buddha said that existence and non-existence are born together, then letting go is remembering, and remembering is letting go, why is she so sad that she can't show her face?Why stop and not find the other shore?

She let out a long breath and read the scriptures before reading the case. The impetuous font made her frown.She simply stopped picking up the pen and picked up the scriptures given to her by the abbot of Shaolin to study.The strange thing is that this time, she can see a lot more scriptures, and the scriptures are as vivid as floating shapes. She closed her eyes and meditated when she looked at it, and unconsciously sat cross-legged in meditation, as if she had settled down.

Don't think, don't think, don't read, don't move, be calm, wonderful.

When she opened her eyes again from the samadhi, she felt much more relaxed physically and mentally, and when she looked outside again, it was already night.She walked to the window, the summer night in the mountains was cool, and there was a bright moon in the sky.Although she liked moonlit nights before, she always felt that the moonlight was cold and cold. Looking at it now, her senses are different. The moon is like a disk, with an inconspicuous lone star still in front of her eyes, illuminating the surrounding fields, and even the shadows on the moon are interesting.

Even though it was so bright and clean, she went back to the house and lit the candle lamps, and then leaned on the window to watch. The warm orange candles in the Yinhui house outside made this cool summer night feel a bit more comfortable.

"Sister." A call interrupted her thoughts, and when she turned her head, she saw Ning Yan, who had been away for many days, returned and entered Shaolin at night.

Feng Piaoxu still dazed for a moment before saying softly: "Yanran, you are back from the capital."

Ning Yan was surprised, she left without saying goodbye, but it was easy for Feng Piaoxu to guess her intention of leaving, she forced a smile and said: "Yes, sister. I met Lin Lang and arranged the way out for the sisters, and... ...meet Nangong Biluo."

"She said to let you recover from your injuries. The stars and the moon will shine together, and we will meet again in Jianghu. She wants you to rest in peace and recover from your injuries. See you in Jianghu after you recover."

Feng Piaoxu looked at Ningyan quietly, knowing her too well, how could she not see the dodge in her eyes when she spoke.She sighed, "She won't see me, will she?"

"No," Ning Yan retorted anxiously, but Feng Piaoxu just looked at her, and she couldn't tell a lie. "Yes, but sister, she says she doesn't regret it, and I wish you peace. She still has you in her heart. Qu Shui also said that she has already said in front of Mrs. Nangong that she doesn't blame you. You can't help but she doesn't love you. I will let you She came to see you!"

Hearing Ningyan's eager words, Feng Piaoxu was unusually calm, she smiled and shook her head and said: "Why do you make things difficult for her, I miss her, but I don't know how to see her, let us all think about this relationship, Let nature take its course."

Feng Piaoxu was no longer in a hurry to see Nangong Biluo, but she knew very well that she couldn't let her go, and she didn't want to let her go, but now was not the time. "Yanran, let us settle our affairs by ourselves. Her heart is mine. You might as well tell me about the situation in the capital. Is there anything new in the capital this time? Although Master Liao Kong can talk a lot, But after listening to a lot of Buddhist principles, I feel a little bored.”

The moonlight outside the window and the candlelight inside the house are surrounded by the wind. She stands by the window, smiling with her hands on the window railing. She is dressed in plain clothes and her long hair hangs down.Ningyan was a little unfamiliar with this kind of wind fluttering, but she also calmed her impetuous emotions.Her sister came back, no longer with the flames and blood of the past, only the elegant truth in front of her eyes.

Ning Yan's heart lightened inexplicably, she smiled sweetly, and nodded obediently. "good."

Feng Piaoxu walked to the table, sat down and added two cups of tea, and sat down obediently as soon as he waved his hand to smoke, and then said: "I went back to Beijing to discuss the management of the existing shops with Lin Lang, and Lu Sanniang also intends to let you They took over the previous business, and with their help, the business in my hand can also develop rapidly. Lu Sanniang also intends to win over Cao Yu'an, but I didn't agree immediately, I don't want her help."

Ningyan also met Qin Zhiyuan when she returned to Beijing. After all, she is her only family member. She also learned from him that Cao Yu'an has been getting close to Qin Zhiyuan and Nangong Biluo recently, and sometimes visited Nangong's house.She observed secretly for a few days, and felt awkward that her elder sister came into Cao Yu'an's house when she was not there. She didn't want to take advantage of Cao's influence.

Feng Piaoxu was a little concerned at first, but she found it funny when she saw Ning Yan frowning, "What else?"

"There are also people like Lianxin and Linlang who don't intend to switch careers to take over the business. Linlang intends to stay with Lu Sanniang to help out, arrange for the sisters before finding a way out, Lianxin plans to work with Liu Yizhi in Piaoxiang Pavilion, and the rest Lin Lang organized a music class, and went to some places such as Pudu Nunnery and the tents you funded to build to teach some children music theory, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and told those places to mention your merits. In the past, you Always keep their names anonymous, no matter what, those who have been helped should know who helped them, and know how to remember, so as not to go astray."

Feng Piaoxu was silent for a while, she still didn't want to leave her name, but she was relieved thinking that she was already a 'dead person' in the capital. "Okay, they also have their hearts, but won't people set up a reincarnation card for me?"

"No, Linlang and the others have confessed to erecting the Longevity Card."

"Longevity card? Then the fact that I didn't die won't be exposed?"

"No, let's not say that Linlang and the others have chosen the place where the memorial tablet is set up. The people inside are relatively simple and can't tell the difference between the longevity tablet and the past life tablet. Even if it is exposed, Lin Lang has already made arrangements. What you said was made into a legend, and now there are many people in the capital who are willing to listen to your story. After all, it is strange enough that the Fengyue Tower burned down overnight, not to mention that Lin Lang and the others deliberately controlled it. What you said is also true, and you had no intention of it. For evil, Jian Huan Lou sells information, does good deeds to help orphans and widows, and also disturbs the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Xingshi Lou, and even eunuchs. I am worried that you will be unhappy that your matter is said so. Also, Nangong Biluo will be affected, and the court's accountability will fall on Nangong Biluo, but I think she can handle it, after all, she is in front of Wang Jin now The red man."

Feng Piaoxu couldn't help being shocked after hearing this, the people under her wings had their own ideas after leaving her, and she was stunned by these ideas.Nangong Biluo also made her feel guilty, but Nangong Biluo was bearing the karma she caused in the past. "Yan Ran, your hearts are good for me, but you should stop, there is no need to do this."

"I think it's necessary. Paper can't cover fire. If it's revealed that you're not dead, you'll even know where you're staying. At least the imperial court will be merciful to you because of these orientations, and people in the Jianghu dare not Provoking Shaolin, this is our purpose, you can rest assured that we are all paying attention, we did not directly point out that the protagonist is you, it is all insinuation, after all, we don't want anyone to disturb you. You forgot about Lin Langlian Dou E and Cui Yingying The stories can be mixed together, trust her. I may have heard about you when I went to the capital, but fortunately, Lin Lang had an idea earlier, I think it's very good."

Feng Piaoxu shook his head, still feeling inappropriate.Ning Yan said again: "Okay, I know you are worried about Nangong Biluo, I will make Lin Lang calm down."

"really?"

"Really." It's strange.

Ningyan nodded cautiously, Feng Piaoxu could only be suspicious.After all, she is now the one who speaks among the sisters. Feng Piaoxu taught her that those who gain power should make good use of their power and do what they should do. This is what she should do, and it is also Feng Piaoxu in their eyes. floc.

Feng Piaoxu didn't see the clues, so he could only sigh: "You must stop immediately, but you can do things like teaching orphans. Just don't just teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you should teach more practical skills and poetry books, and you can also teach orphans. You can teach some martial arts to strengthen your body."

"it is good."

"Well, after talking about Linlang and the others, how are the sisters Liu and Lu and Nangong doing recently? Ganniang, Shui'er, Wu..."

Ning Yan didn't wait for her to finish, and said: "Lu Sanniang and Liu Yizhi are doing well. Without Fengyue Building, Lu Sanniang's Yingchun Courtyard has jumped to the first place in Mingyufang, and the money is flowing in quickly. She complained that she was bored to death with too many things. While happily going in and out of the bank, even buying people in Jiaofangsi is much richer, which looks disgusting. Liu Yizhi is a lot more low-key, going to make things difficult for Lu Sanniang when he has time, and busy with the affairs of Piaoxiang Pavilion when he is not free. There are people taking care of them, and they are doing well. As for the Nangong family—"

Ning Yan took a breath, "Mrs. Nangong took charge of Xinglintang again, because of her excellent medical skills, many people came to seek medical treatment and buy medicines, but she didn't open the clinic very often. She recruited a few new apprentices and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy is still at home. Or just go to the door and walk around the street. Only emergencies will come to the doctor. The other two elders are also doing their own work, and everything is as usual. Nangong Biluo is still busy with the affairs of the yamen and has retired from the chief arresting position. She left the capital less often, but the investigation didn't stop at all, I don't know what to do with major cases, and there are more trivial cases."

"By the way, it seems that because Liushang gave her some clues recently, she left Beijing in a hurry, and I heard that some villains have appeared in the Jianghu recently, and some killers who were previously unknown suddenly appeared. Qin Zhiyuan said that the governments in various places have accumulated some new cases, and also said that the impeachment was to get rid of the aftermath of the walking corpse building. Seeking instructions and arrangements from the capital made Wang Rui very tired. I don’t know if Wang Jin is playing tricks behind his back? The world is also chaotic. Liuzhang, when they are looking for medicine, they will always meet someone who is looking for trouble. For Ruxin Pill, it seems that not only the fish that slipped through the net in the Walking Corpse Building are interested in it. Everything is fine, Fu Rong followed and kept in touch with me from time to time. Helian Ba ​​and the others are big bosses, one more woman, and Liu Shang can take care of them."

"As for Qushui——she is still her young lady's follower, and she eats so heartlessly that she will die in a circle. She eats and waits to die." Ning Yan finally talked about Qushui, and she hastily said that they didn't agree.After the reunion in the capital, Qu Shui annoyed her for a few days. After making out the trick, she cried a lot in front of Nangong Biluo.Originally, they lived in peace and harmony, but when she met Qin Zhiyuan, she could always feel that she was nearby, either sneaking up and waiting to watch the show, or blatantly trying to match her and Qin Zhiyuan together.

Worry blindly, you can be bored to death!

After listening to Ningyan's narration, Feng Piaoxu pondered for a long time, then she raised her sharp eyes and said, "Yanran, don't we still have some teachers and sisters scattered all over the place? You call them all together, and there are also those who live at the foot of the mountain People, find a way to find out what major case Nangong is investigating, and use our intelligence network to assist. Then assign some people to keep up with Liushang and they will secretly protect. Secondly, if there are criminals and criminals in the rivers and lakes, you will arrest them within your ability Kill them, try to capture them alive and send them to the officials for justice, and receive the rewards as well, so as to maintain the turnover of merchants."

"My sister wants us to be bounty hunters?"

"No, I don't want you to be bounty hunters who work their lives for money. I just try my best to send you to the officials before the reward order is issued. Your main task in the future is to help some women, children, old and weak to find peace, especially some women who are suffering. Teach skills, find a way to live in peace, if you want to follow, you can worship under the master's sect and become a disciple of Yaoji, if you are an orphan, you can give her surname Feng, practice martial arts, and punish evil and promote good together." Feng Piaoxu frowned. He has the vigor of the master of the first floor again, his eyes are like stars, and he is described as tenacious.

"I've been thinking about how I should go in the future. Now that I have a direction, I want to start a sect."

"Opening a sect!" Ning Yan was startled, but seeing Feng Piaoxu smiling at her, her eyes lit up, "Okay, establishing a sect. Then sister, what should our sect be called?"

Feng Piaoxu thought for a while and said with a smile: "The charmer, use women more. If you recruit women, have suffered hardships, and still have the ambition to return to the sun, let's call them Weigui."

"Not a ghost?"

"Well, I'm not a ghost. I don't follow the government, I don't belong to a famous family, and I have cultivated a femininity and cunning. I can also use my own side to do what I think in my heart and follow the common way. Those who are not ghosts don't judge righteousness and evil, but follow their conscience. Follow the wind, be happy, be strong. How about it?"

"Okay, then sister, you need to heal your injury quickly." Ning Yan was eager to try.

"Oh, it doesn't matter if I heal my injury or not. Yan Ran, don't forget that you are the number one now."

"No, the sect is your idea, the idea is yours, if you don't become the master, I won't do it."

"I didn't say it was inappropriate, but this is still only a concept, and there are still many things to think about in terms of actual implementation. For example, our martial arts actually need to be improved in order to allow more people to practice. Although heart-breaking palm and cold jade skills are also suitable for women, But the cold air is too strong, if you accidentally hurt yourself, there are also Yinfeng finger and swordsmanship, although the power is not small, but they are all following others, they have no self-contained school, they can't stand in the rivers and lakes. Zong also has to formulate it."

Ningyan also frowned, she and Feng Piaoxu are considered to have outstanding aptitudes, even Feng Piaoxu had some chances to get her current martial arts, and she has been assisted by various medicines since she was a child to be outstanding. It's still a big problem if you only learn a little stronger, and you can't beat Qushui when you meet strong players in the rivers and lakes.Moreover, starting a sect is no easier than running a business. It took a long time to prepare for the construction of Fengyue Tower. In addition, Master Yao Ji started to accumulate plans before entering the capital to make a fortune. He also experienced a lot of ups and downs in the past seven years before gaining a firm foothold.

"Yanran, you don't have to worry. Although it's not easy, it's not impossible. I'm grounded now, but it's a good thing. The martial arts in the world come out of Shaolin. I might find a way. You can go to the rivers and lakes first if you are free." There is no rush to establish a reputation and accept disciples, and I don’t plan to recruit people in a big way, it also depends on opportunities and understanding, you and I will develop slowly.”

"It's not too difficult for me to gather my sisters to make a name for themselves, but you really want to stay in Shaolin Temple? I'm afraid Shaolin will not be so generous."

"I also know, but now I don't want to, and it's not suitable for me to go to the rivers and lakes. The Shaolin environment is quiet and suitable for me to think and plan. Besides, if I don't think about the past here, I can't feel at ease. Yanran, I still have difficulties. You say that the master of the sect is me, I have no objection, but in the end it is you who is in charge. If I can't do it, you will continue, just like the master once made a wish, and I will continue it."

"Sister, I..."

"Are you afraid?"

"Not afraid."

"That's good, let's discuss what to do in the first step."

"Okay, I think Yaohong should also be called..."

Late at night, the candles were extinguished in the wind, but fortunately the moonlight was bright enough, and the voices of discussions in the meditation room continued intermittently until dawn.

Xi'an, the former residence of the Qin family.

The master and servant of Nangong Biluo came here to investigate the case of the two servants who died in the case of the ghost bat demon. When they arrived at the former residence of Ningyan, the Qin Mansion had already changed, but Nangong Biluo still planted three sticks of incense in the soil of the courtyard. , to comfort Qin Gong's family in heaven.

"Miss, Qin Yanran has a bad temper, so there's no need to do this for her. She's also running around outside now, and she will come back in person if she wants to."

"I'm not doing it for her, you're pretty much the same." Nangong Biluo glanced at the shochu and chicken in Qushui's hands with a smile, "Put it down quickly, I worshiped Qin Gong's family, maybe I can save a few lives." A beggar or a few stray dogs."

Qu Shui felt awkward when he heard the words, no wonder Nangong Biluo only wanted three sticks of incense, but he put it down.Forget it, being taken away is also a good deed for the Qin family. May Qin Yanran be safe in the future and have a better temper.Walking in the rivers and lakes is not that simple, it's normal for her to provoke Liang Zi according to her temper.

When she came back to her senses, Nangong Biluo had gone far away, and she immediately chased after her, "Miss, wait for me. I said we are in such a hurry and you still go to Qin's house. You came here for Qin Yanran, when will you still get involved?" The problem of duplicity? It's like clearly thinking about the wind..."

"Shui'er." Nangong Biluo frowned and interrupted Qu Shui. She knew what she would say, and now she didn't want to be distracted, so she also took a deep breath and said in a good voice: "It's really not for her, the case of Qinmen is only for her." With the eradication of prostitution and slavery, I have too many unresolved cases, Mr. Qin is an upright official."

"Okay, okay, why don't you tell me what kind of riddle Sister Shang wrote to you, so that you would put down so many backlogged cases in the capital and come here?"

"Those are locked cases that can't be dealt with in a short while. I came here just to fight for breath. I always feel that this case has some connection with Song Qingtian's case." Nangong Biluo took out a chess piece, but Thinking of Zhu Hongyan and his three-color chess, he must have concealed it, but the progress is still not much. "If there is still nothing to gain this time, then the only thing to do is go back and deal with the recent case."

Just as she finished speaking, Qu Shui said, "Huh? Miss, is that person Yang Heping?"

Nangong Biluo looked, and the person who came out of the former residence of the Liu Mansion they were going to was Yang Heping. He also saw Nangong Biluo, and his face was not very good-looking.Looking at Liu's residence, the name has already been changed to Yi's surname, so I'm afraid the gains will be minimal.
