Heaven is fearless

Chu Mingfeng talked with Yan Wujiu in an amiable and gentle manner. This time she didn't mention any sensitive topics, but just talked about Miao Xin's landscape quite normally, and told Yan Wujiu what is interesting and interesting in the city. Her generosity and harmony are no different from that of a elder sister who dotes on her younger brother, and she even deliberately made a somewhat distant and dignified attitude.

Yan Wujiu still looked like an ignorant young man, with just the right yearning and cowardice on his face, his eyes did not dare to look at the bright and charming Princess Nan'an, and flew around.

He was still sneering in his heart, Chu Mingfeng played hard to get and play is really good, ordinary teenagers may not like this princess who only met once, but there will always be a problem of self-importance, she said last time when she was leaving If he didn't make it clear, it was obviously deliberately attracting people's imagination, and this time he put on a estranged posture with complete etiquette. If he hadn't seen too many tricks by the girls in Nianchun Pavilion, he would really have to think about it all day long. with her.

I've been thinking about her for a long time, but I really don't like her. Do you dare to say that you are not tempted in the slightest?

In particular, the Princess of Nan'an has a glamorous appearance and a slender figure, as well as a noble status. If she climbs this ladder, she will not have to struggle for the rest of her life.

He was slandering in his heart, but his expression still didn't dare to show any clues. Instead, he tried to put on a nervous look, muttering and probing: "... Your Highness said, I really want to go and see, but the guard at the door..."

He wanted to say that the security at the gate was very strict, and no matter how you looked at it, he meant to imprison him. How could Chu Mingfeng not know what he was talking about, so he answered naturally: "These are all good soldiers in the army, pick one out of ten thousand It is more than enough to protect you as a young gentleman, if you fall again when you walk next time, I will punish them."

She said this in a teasing tone, but Yan Wujiu's scalp was numb with the slight threat in her words, and Chu Mingfeng laughed again: "Miao Xin has many interesting places, not as good as Central Plains. The style of writing is at its peak, the folk customs here are simple, and you are relatives of spirit beasts, next time I will take you out to play."

She dismissed Yan Wuzheng's temptation lightly, and stood up: "You take good care of it, if there is anything missing, even if you ask someone to pick it up, just treat it as your own home, don't be restrained."

Chu Mingfeng led her away, Yan Wujiu watched her figure disappear at the door, the shy smile she had just had disappeared all of a sudden, and she stared at her legs expressionlessly, not knowing what she was thinking.

"So you didn't want to leave because of Princess Nan'an?"

A faint voice sounded, Yan Wujiu was startled out of his own thoughts, looked up, and saw a tall and thin monk with his belt in the wind standing not far away, and glanced at the gate a few times.

Yan Wujiu hadn't reacted yet: "...Ah, what?"

Fan Xing repeated it in a good-tempered manner: "So you didn't want to leave because of Princess Nan'an?"

From start to finish, not a single punctuation mark or tone changed.

Yan Wujiao went through this sentence in his head, and his whole body exploded: "What?! Bullshit! Is this kind of person? Are you not much prettier than her?"

Seeing that Fanxing wanted to ask more questions, he immediately shivered, grabbed the crutch beside him and limped past Fanxing: "I remembered that I made an appointment with that sparrow to play together today. Let's go, let's go!"

... That phoenix would look at Yan Wujiao arrogantly every time it saw him, and walk away. When did it get close enough to have an appointment with him?

Yan Wujiu made a nonsense and escaped from Fanxing's sight, he was relieved, he didn't want to let Fanxing know about his troubles, and he also choked up and refused to tell the truth to Fanxing, saying that it was something inexplicable by young people. It doesn't matter if he has self-esteem, or he doesn't want Brahma to worry about it, but he just wants to hide it from Brahma.

He kept it a secret, and felt sorry for it, and tried his best to please the Brahma in a sneaky way. The ascetic monks don't covet appetite, and don't have any favorite playthings. Getting too close to him, he could only follow the trainer at a distance like a big cat that has done something wrong, trying to get his attention quietly.

Today is a phoenix feather discovered "accidentally", and tomorrow is a red litchi "accidentally" picked up. The young people's way of trying to please others is also very clumsy, and there is a smell of foolishness. Be content with this, and in the eyes of others, there is a lot to be done.

Afterwards, Chu Mingfeng came to Yan Wujiu from time to time, and the number and frequency increased, and the affection in his eyes became more and more profound. Yan Wujiu could only bitterly follow and increase his admiration The frequency of appearance of the eyes, and set up a cowardly character for himself because of his inferiority complex, he hesitated in front of Chu Mingfeng and couldn't speak, but it didn't even arouse suspicion.

The two have been acting like this for more than half a year, and even Chu Fengqiao has vaguely heard that her mother seems to have a man she likes very much, and she is wondering if she really has a stepfather, as if she has always been invisible Fanxing, who was ignored by the entire family, welcomed his own visitor.

In fact, with Fanxing's noble bearing, no one should have noticed him.

Looking at the monk in front of him, as bright as a white lotus and still water, Chu Mingfeng seemed to experience the amazement he first saw in the busy city again.

... Such a demeanor and demeanor should really not be noticed by no one.

But thinking of some things she found recently, Chu Mingfeng showed a slight smile. If it is what she thinks, this ordinary monk who roams around is not ordinary at all, and it is not surprising that he hides himself thing.

Across a tea table, the two sat down facing each other. Fan Xing lowered his eyes and twirled the beads without saying a word, treating himself like a stone sculpture, while Chu Mingfeng carefully examined the person whom she had ignored. The monk who was a month old suddenly laughed: "The Buddha lived in my house for several months, I didn't know it at all, I neglected the master, Mingfeng felt very ashamed."

Fanxing paused for a moment when he heard the words, raised his eyelashes like splashed ink, opened his mouth, then closed it hesitantly, his eyes still stayed on the exquisitely carved tea table in front of him.

"Master, do you want to deny it? The monks don't lie, so I just said it. I sent people to the Central Plains a few months ago, and I happened to pass the Pure Land Zen School, the number one Buddhist school in the Central Plains. Ah, I was also ignorant. At this time, I knew that the Buddhist sect actually There is also a Buddha who said that the root bones are clear, the lotus is the guest, and the orthodoxy of the entire Central Plains is shouldered, and it is an example for the monks in the world..."

Chu Mingfeng clapped his palms, and his expression was full of sincere respect: "What an honor and what a hardship, Mingfeng admires you."

Fan Xing looked at his nose, nose and heart, but he still didn't say a word.

In fact, his silence does not hinder Chu Mingfeng's performance. She is sure that what she has found is irrefutable: "I heard that this generation of Buddhist disciples with the name of Brahma, who has traveled around for many years, is used to using a magic wand, and is dressed in white clothes. OK, that's right—"

She clasped her palms together: "I wonder if Master recognizes this?"

She took something out of her sleeve, tapped it with her fingertips, and pushed it onto the table.

It was an emerald jade lotus, the quality of the jade was clear, as if it contained a puddle of water.

Chu Mingfeng smiled and said: "The treasure that my subordinates accidentally found in the capital of the Central Plains, I heard that it was pawned by a boy a few years ago. Although it was clear that it was a pawn, he left the capital soon. , this is what the Buddha carried with him, let's see, master, do you want to return it to the original owner today?"

Even Yan Wujiu's childhood residence was uncovered, which shows that Chu Mingfeng spent all his money. What should a simple and ignorant monk face this scene?

Thinking about it, Fanxing raised his hand and took the jade lotus into his palm: "Amitabha."

This is recognition.

Chu Mingfeng almost couldn't hold back her ecstasy.

Central Plains Buddha!The teaching of Buddhism is authentic!The direction of the hearts of monks all over the world!

The weight of this identity made Chu Mingfeng overturn a table excitedly when he heard the report from his servants.

If she can grasp Brahma...

After several months of observation, she had a clear understanding of the relationship between Yan Wujiu and Fanxing, a monk who lost all his relatives and therefore regarded each other as the only young man, and a restrained and gentle Buddha who regarded responsibility as the most important thing Yan Wujiu is a child of the family, because he was not obvious, but Chu Mingfeng was almost blinded by his sincere and admiring eyes when he looked at Fanxing.

It is good to have such a deep bond, so that there is room for attack.

Fanxing said softly: "The poor monk can't be regarded as incognito, but it's just not publicized."

The implication is that you know nothing.

The corner of Chu Mingfeng's mouth raised, and she whispered softly: "Master, there is no need to be so vigilant. I just came to tell you a piece of news out of kindness."

Fan Xing finally shifted his gaze from the flower-like table to Chu Mingfeng's face, but after just a glance, he quickly lowered his head again, murmuring scriptures even faster.

The glamorous princess doesn't mind his indifference at all. She hasn't seen anyone in these years, and she can handle even difficult people, not to mention that this is just a frail monk with no strength to restrain a chicken.

"Grandmaster has been away for several months. I'm afraid he doesn't know that the Central Plains is already in chaos."

With a smile on her face, she seemed to be very affectionate, and raised her hand to pour tea for Brahma, with a melodious and pleasant voice: "...the emperor enforced the order to clear the land, and it is not allowed to hide the land in private and conceal the tax. Arrears of land taxes."

Fanxing's voice was flat: "It is the right thing to benefit the country and the people."

Chu Mingfeng still smiled and chanted: "Not only that, but we also need to check the household registration of monks, order all temples to check and limit the number of monks, expel monks with no morals and talents, and prohibit farmers from becoming lay monks in temples. Pay a poll tax equal to that of the peasant household."

She was satisfied to see the peaceful-looking monk stop twirling the beads.

It’s nothing to check the temple’s land tax. It’s a big deal for monks to pay taxes and limit staff. Many people become monks because monks don’t have to pay taxes. Usually, there are more than a dozen monks in an ordinary temple that is officially registered. There are thousands of monks living in large temples like the Hejian Pure Land Zen School all year round, and there are probably tens of thousands of farmers and merchants under them who support the daily operation of the temple.

Once the number of people to be inspected is limited, many temples will have no one to offer sacrifices and clean up immediately. Large temples like Pure Land Zen can only be maintained with difficulty. It is so difficult to run a Buddhist temple, so where is the time to spread the word and recruit believers?

If this continues, Buddhism and Taoism will gradually decline.

It's a matter of personal interests, and it can even shake the fundamental issue of Buddhist teachings. Could it be that this Buddhist who is responsible for the authenticity of Buddhism in the world can remain indifferent?

Chu Mingfeng thoughtfully left Fanxing a moment of shock and astonishment, but Fanxing, who she thought was in shock and astonishment, was thinking about something irrelevant.

——It turned out that she wanted to use this method to lure him away.

If Chu Mingfeng wanted to lure Yan Wujiu into rebellion, he naturally had to find a reason. Although the entire family of Yan's family was destroyed, although it was a bloody enmity, it was not enough to make Yan Wujiu risk his life.

It's not that Yan Wujiu is a wolf-hearted dog, but in fact he has been raised by Yan Duotang's mother and daughter since he can remember, and he is not very close to the old people of Yan's family.

After many days of agitation, Chu Mingfeng also figured out Yan Wujiu's thoughts. He was probably too young when the Yan Mansion incident happened, and even his hatred was not so real. At most, he had words of resentment and resentment towards Chu Zhang. , the hostility in his heart is not enough to make him desperately raise the flag to rebel.

She needs another hatred with more warmth, weight, and flesh and blood.

Without thinking deeply, Chu Mingfeng set his sights on Fan Xing.

It was too difficult to get the monk to rebel, and Fanxing didn't seem like a person who would give birth to hostility, so it would be appropriate to be a bait.

If Fanxing died, at the hands of her good brother, would Yan Wujiu feel resentful?If one Brahmacharya is not enough, it doesn't matter, she can also arrange a second or third for Yan Wujiu...

If it weren't for the Central Plains' contempt for women, she wouldn't be able to use too much, so why bother with this!

Fan Xing understood her intention, it was to instigate him to go back to die.

Just in time, he wanted to find a way to light the fire in Yan Wujiu's heart.

The owner, galloping the world, competing in the Central Plains, how can he continue to be so naive for a long time, under his long-term subtle influence, Yan Wujiu has already developed a faint consciousness of "the princes and generals have kindness", and he Yan The aristocratic status of later generations will pave the way for him to become a dragon.

After Chu Zhang ascended the throne, he acted cruelly, without any regard for the face of the family. He did not know how many noble bloods were slaughtered with the butcher knife in his hand. , how could they not be happy?And if they want to change their family, Yan Wujiu, who is also a nobleman, is more acceptable to them than any emperor from a commoner background.

Yan Wujiu has no lack of courage, scheming, and generosity. What he lacks now is a reason, a reason to ignite him.

He is the best reason.

In Brahma Bank's plan, he wanted Yan Wujiu to first control the sixteen troops in southern Xinjiang, and then, as the orphan of the Yan family, contact the nobles in the capital to overthrow the rule of Chu and Wei. The terrain in southern Xinjiang is rugged and remote, and it is the birthplace of the emperor, and no one is on guard against them. As long as they communicate properly and deceive the city gate, they can drive straight into the capital.

The plan is perfect, the only problem is that there is no reason to rebel.

Could it be that he, a monk with a pure heart and asceticism, wants to whisper in Yan Wujiu's ear, "If a tyrant messes up the government, it's better to take this great world for yourself"?

Yan Wujiu is not a fool, no matter how cryptic he hints, this smart young man will find that something is wrong with Fanxing.

——Then his design will collapse!

It is not easy to build an avatar, and if it is lost so easily, the law will die of heartache.

He was wondering how to take the next step, but he didn't expect Chu Mingfeng to hand over the ladder so understandingly.

What a nice guy.

Fan Xing looked at Chu Mingfeng's eyes suddenly warmed up, and clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, thank you, the benefactor, for letting me know."

Chu Mingfeng smiled sincerely and kindly: "I have prepared a good horse express for the master, and I can go all the way north and return to the Pure Land Zen to deal with this matter. As for Young Master Yan, the master's trip is difficult and dangerous, why not leave him in Miaoxin?" , I regard him as my own younger brother, and I will definitely take care of him with all my strength."

He even found the reason for Yan Wuzheng to stay for him, he is really a caring and good person.

Brahman then showed a clear and sincere smile as usual: "Shan, thank you benefactor."

It's really not easy to coax a monk who is breezy and bright.

Chu Mingfeng laughed contentedly in his heart.

The two looked at each other, the monk bowed his head and chanted the Buddha's name with gratitude in his eyes, the beauty's words were sincere and reasonable, and all the black water was swirling under the skin, and the matter of Brahman's departure from the mansion was finalized almost instantly.

In order to prevent accidents, Chu Mingfeng also asked Fanxing to leave a letter not to meet each other on the grounds that he was afraid of Yan Wujiu's worry about following. In less than an hour, the carriage of the Princess's Mansion drove out of the gate, and at this time Yan Wujiu was still in the dark thinking about how to escape from the Princess's Mansion, not knowing what kind of sunny day he was about to face thunderbolt.
