Outdated swordsman begging online

Qiuchi is powerful and powerful. Although it is in the barbarian land in southern Xinjiang, it is the only country with the power to fight against the imperial court. The leader of the country, Mu Zhihou, used the river as a boundary, and has drawn a clear line with the Central Plains for many years. Paying tribute and proclaiming ministers, there are many exchanges and celebrations during the New Year's Day.

Within the borders of Qiuchi, the ruler of the country is more than ten thousand people, and is loved and respected by the people, while the national teacher who is in charge of the country's destiny and precepts is a role that no one dares to mention casually.

Mu Zhihou trusted the National Teacher Academy very much, he had to personally ask the National Teacher Academy about every detail, from the policy of governing the country, the formulation of laws and regulations, to the festival celebrations, and the holding of royal family sacrifices.The people often say that the words of the national teacher are more important than the king. After all, if the king has any ideas, he needs to be nodded by the teacher. If the teacher has any ideas, the king does not dare to object, and even appreciates them.

Once Mu Zhihou's seventh son committed a crime, no one dared to arrest him and no one dared to interrogate him because of his status as a nobleman, the National Teacher's Office crossed over to the Supervisory Department to arrest him overnight, and it took only an hour to plead guilty and execute him. The national teacher first beheaded and then Zuo beheaded the prince with his own hands, and then went to the emperor Mu Zhihou to report the reason, but he did not offend the emperor Tianwei.

But they all said that the king dared to be angry but dared not speak up.

Today is such a ruthless character, Qin Zheng is a beggar who has just arrived. He has occasionally heard of the great reputation of the Southern Border National Teacher, but he has never seen the big man in Southern Border with his own eyes. Hearing that the National Teacher is here , I suddenly felt anticipation and wanted to take a look.

So he compromised.

"Since it is the national teacher, I will sit over and wait there. I will move back when the national teacher leaves."

The so-called sitting is only a foot away, so you just raise your buttocks, take a step and sit down again.

The sweeping monk heard the words and felt that he was being played maliciously. Is this person really planning to make this place his own? !I thought that if this person gave up the name of the national teacher, he should get out if he winked, but he has no reverence for the national teacher.

"Don't think that you can wait for the national teacher to help you talk to the abbot. The national teacher doesn't care about this, and the abbot doesn't want to talk to you."

Qin Zheng was surprised, "The abbot never came out to see me, so why doesn't he want to talk to me?"

The sweeping monk picked up his broom and prepared to leave. When he finished, he planned to persuade him one last time, "Abbot asks you, how many kalpas are you in a hundred and eight kalpas? People who really see through the world and are willing to green up the ancient Buddha from now on don't drink wine every day. Drain your sorrows, get drunk, dream and die."

"If you can't let it go, you can hold on to your thoughts for a long time. Since you can't do it, there is no need to force it. If you really can't let it go, it's okay to pick it up. If you want to practice Buddhism, you can practice meditation while sitting or walking. You don't have to stick to it in my temple. Practice as a monk. Do it yourself!"

Qin Zheng was a little stunned, tasted the abbot's words, and secretly sighed that the master was indeed a master, and he was so reasonable that he couldn't refute it, but Qin Zheng really had nowhere to go, didn't the master consider that he not only He is a person who can't let go and can't see through. More importantly, he has nothing now and just wants to find a place to live.

Forget it, since you have decided to go out of your home, you have to stick to the end, so that the monk's heart is not made of stone.What's more, I don't know what kind of blessings I have accumulated recently. Kind people bring food to him every day. I am afraid that he is blessed by Buddhism. Since he can eat well and dress warmly at the gate of the temple, how could he be willing to leave.

The sweeping monk left the last sentence and went in. After a while, there was the sound of the bell ringing in the temple, and the sound of chanting sutras, which made Qin Zheng dizzy for a while.

After the dizziness, her hands and feet were numb and her breathing was difficult, and her internal organs were itchy like ants crawling over her. Qin Zheng suddenly couldn't even sit still, and tremblingly took out the hip flask with one hand.

He had been too comfortable for the past three days, he was negligent about his physical condition for a moment, and forgot that he had to take a sip of wine when the time came, and now he was so full of poison that he didn't even have the strength to open the wine pot, and he couldn't stop shaking all of a sudden, and fell head over heels At the gate of the temple.

One person just went out and saw him lying on the ground trembling like chaff, he was startled, hurriedly went back to the monastery for people to see, the abbot and a group of disciples were sitting in front of the altar listening to the national teacher's lecture, they were so It's not easy to see death if you interrupt, so you have to owe the national teacher and go to the temple gate to investigate.

The abbot didn't step out of the temple gate. Seeing that Qin Zheng was lying on the ground and no longer trembling, but there was no movement, he asked his disciples to help him up, and there was no response when he pinched him.

"I heard that this person has been lying here for three days and refused to leave. Is this a sudden illness?" The abbot looked at him coldly, not wanting to get close.

The disciple pinched Qin Zheng's pulse, but he couldn't find out why, and said, "The pulse is weak and weak, I don't know why."

The sweeping monk also followed. Although he looked disgusted, seeing him suddenly like this, he was a little worried that the sentence that he would die on the spot if he took a sip of wine was true or not, and said, "I saw that he was addicted to alcohol, so I opened his jug. Let him smell it to see if there is any reaction, if it’s really impossible, give him a sip, maybe he can wake up?”

The disciple did as he said, first sniffed it for Qin Zheng, but there was no response, and finally pried open his mouth and took a sip of wine.

The wine entered the lungs, suppressing the poison with poison, Qin Zheng coughed and woke up.

The sweeping monk sighed, "Looks like he's an alcoholic."

When the abbot saw that the person had woken up, he didn't want to say anything, he turned around to leave, and suddenly saw the people in front of him coming this way, he immediately respectfully saluted, "Why did the national teacher come out, it's just a small incident, how dare you work hard?" The master of the country."

Qin Zheng was still in a trance. The disciple leaned him against the wall and followed the abbot away. He heard the abbot being polite to someone, but he couldn't hear clearly, and his eyes were a little blurred. If no one paid attention to him, he just ignored him. He recklessly took a few sips of wine to ease his breath before speaking.

"It's okay, just take a break."

The man who was called the teacher of the country was only 25 or [-] years old, with good looks and elegant temperament. He was dressed in snow-white clothes, which made him stand out from the world. He was not like a person who dealt with the king all day long. Ferret, I don't know if he smelled the smell of wine, the furry ferret sniffed his nose, and "squeaked" towards the door.

Seeing that the ferret reacted strangely, the national teacher frowned slightly, and walked out the door.

After Qin Zheng drank himself a few sips of wine, although he temporarily suppressed the poison, the alcohol also rubbed his head on the ground. It was uncomfortably hot, and he put down the cloak. Unexpectedly, the national teacher happened to go out and bump into him Seeing his face, his expression changed drastically.

Qin Zheng couldn't see clearly, only knew that there was a blindingly white person, squinted at the person and couldn't see his face, and muttered, "I'm sorry to bump into you..."

The national teacher had a gloomy face, and immediately repelled everyone, leaving only one confidant by his side.Seeing that everyone was gone, he squatted down and supported Qin Zheng's shoulders, and murmured, "Qin Zheng?? Is it really you?? How did you become like this?!"

As soon as he took off the cloak, he was recognized again. Is this dilapidated town in southern Xinjiang really against his own destiny? Qin Zheng didn't answer, but shook his head and tried to focus on the face of the national teacher, waiting to see clearly Whoever it was, he was a little at a loss.

This person will definitely not harm him, but why did he meet in this situation?

"Qu Chen?" Qin Zheng tried his best not to smile so ugly, and grinned, "Well, you have become a national teacher, congratulations!"

The congratulations came from the bottom of his heart, but he said it like this, which made people feel heartbroken.

Back then, the two were evenly matched, and Qin Zheng won the first place in the sword test competition. There was no difference in the scenery at the time, and the only one who stood shoulder to shoulder with him was Qu Chen, who won the second place.

At that time, he was just a budding Southern Border swordsman who participated in the Central Plains Martial Arts Festival by himself. Although he was young, he was able to achieve such achievements. He had the same reputation as Qin Zheng, and there were heated discussions in the world.

It was also from the grand meeting five years ago that the two have known each other since then, meeting friends with swords, talking about everything, they can be called confidantes.Qu Chen was one year older than Qin Zheng, and one day when he drank too much, Qin Zheng jokingly said that he wanted to recognize his brother with a different surname.

However, after they parted ways, they haven't seen each other for many years, and they thought they had achieved something, but now they meet again in the sky and the earth, and they are so desperate and hasty.

Qu Chen looked Qin Zheng up and down, with mixed feelings, and didn't know where to start, so he asked, "Where's the sword?"

Qin Zheng turned her face away in embarrassment, "It's sealed."

Qu Chen remembered that when someone reported that he fell to the ground and twitched unconscious, he became nervous, "What happened to you just now?"

Qin Zheng smiled, "What else can happen, I'm addicted to alcohol."

"It's fine to lie to others, but you're not telling the truth to me?" Qu Chen obviously wanted to know what happened to Qin Zheng, and his voice was a little higher.

Qin Zheng also lost his smiling face. If nothing happened, he would be happy to see his confidant and old friend, but now he doesn't want to say anything, and he can't say anything. Seeing it is a burden. If someone asks him a question, he must lie ten sentences. There is really no need to talk more.

So he lowered his face, blocked Qu Chen's hand, and said unhappily, "Stupid words are the truth, forget it if you don't believe it, the national teacher has a lot of affairs, and I'm a beggar, so I don't want to bother you, so don't let it go."

Seeing him wobbly standing up and about to leave, Qu Chen got up and wanted to stop him, but Qin Zheng raised his hand and stood between the two of them again, "It's not good for a noble national teacher to beg for food with me in front of the Buddhist gate." Lalachacha, let me go."

Qu Chen showed embarrassment, he didn't know why he was ashamed to say these hurtful words, and said: "But Qin Zheng, you now..."

Qin Zheng interrupted him, there seemed to be pleading in his eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Talk to you one more time, and I will remember the past, but look at me now. I am not made of stone, and I don't even want to face For so long, I just wanted to survive in a place where no one was around, if you ever regarded me as a confidant, don't bother me and don't chase after me."

Qin Zheng's voice trembled, "I did those things, if you don't kill me, let me go."

Qin Zheng lowered his head and turned to leave. The ferret seemed to understand his master's intentions. Seeing that Qu Chen didn't dare to stop him, he jumped onto Qin Zheng's shoulder, bit his cloak and screamed a few times. Voice.

Qin Zheng paused, "Brother Chen, do I have to beg you?"

Qu Chen sighed, stared at Qin Zheng's back, swallowed his words again, and could only wave to the ferret, "Tuanzi, don't be presumptuous, come back!"

The ferret called Tuanzi loosened his mouth when he heard this, and jumped back to lie on Qu Chen's shoulders dejectedly. When he raised his head again, Qin Zheng had already gone far away.

Qu Chen had something important to do, and because of his status as the national teacher, if he really chased him out, a large number of people would follow and expose Qin Zheng's identity, which would only increase the danger, so he could only watch him leave, and privately ordered his cronies to follow him .
