Forest Kindergarten

When the grass grows and the warbler flies, a large area of ​​pink and white cherry blossoms falls on the Yanliu River.

On the banks of the river are people who come to enjoy the flowers. Some people carry food boxes on poles and sell them among the crowd along the way.

"Sakura pancakes?" A man in white was wearing a veiled hat, with soap gauze hanging down to his waist, completely covering his face.

He held the folding fan and tapped the attendant's head lightly: "If you want to eat, go buy it, it's rare to come out."

The young attendant looked at the age of fifteen or sixteen, his face was red, he rubbed his head, and said with a embarrassed smile: "Then I will buy more, big...you wait here for me?"

The man in white smiled and said, "I won't wait for you. After you buy it, come and find me."

The attendant respectfully accepted the order: "Yes."

With one hand behind his back, the man in white continued to stroll in the courtyard and walked forward.

The people on the river bank were crowded with each other, and the man in white seemed to be able to predict it. He walked slowly among the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd. No one could touch him, only the delicate petals that kept falling passed by.

"Hey, have you heard? Shaofu is going to die tonight..." There were people whispering beside him.

"Hey, it's pitiful, it's only been two years since I became a young master at such a young age, and I'm going to..."

"It can't be blamed on other people. Don't you think it's not good for him to teach the prince well? You must go to speak... Our Majesty..." The person who spoke said in a low voice, "If our Majesty can really listen, he will still believe in that crooked way ?”

The man in white waved his fan, slowed down his pace, and eavesdropped on their chat with great interest.

"That is, how many outspoken officials did he kill? It is said that if the crown prince hadn't stopped him that day, Shao Fu would have been dragged down and beheaded on the spot."

"What's the use of that? It's not about to die!"

"At least I can leave a whole body..."

Passing by a tea shop, the man in white sat down and waited for the attendant.

He knows what kind of shit the king of the country believes in now, and he has no interest in controlling the beliefs of the world, but if this ghost thing threatens the safety of the world, he will come and take a look.

The attendant caught up, holding oiled paper in both hands, filled with hot cherry blossom pancakes, which looked sweet and crisp, with a whole cherry blossom pressed in the middle: "Big...Master Lianpei, try it, just came out The one in the pot is very fragrant!"

Lian Pei picked one up, put it into the mouth from under the soap gauze, nodded and said, "It's really delicious."

The attendant also ate one: "I have written down the recipe, go back to God... I will make it for you when I get home."

Lianpei finished eating one, drank some fruit tea called cherry blossom tea, clapped his hands and said, "Let's go, let's go to the palace to see the excitement."

A master and a servant walked and wandered, strolling towards the palace, from noon to evening in a daze.

After passing the bustling restaurant street and flower street, we entered the inner city. Not everyone can enter the inner city. Lianpei opened the invisibility barrier and walked in grandly.

Yellow silk was hung on the gate of the palace, and vermilion runes could be vaguely seen on it.

Lianpei raised the corner of her mouth under the soap gauze, raised her eyebrows and said: "This bastard uses the karma of the king to make a battle for himself, and has the entire palace in his hands. I'm afraid he wants to replace me."

The attendant snorted through his nose: "Hmph! His ambition is not small!" He looked displeased at such a young age, "If you want me to say, you shouldn't come. Just leave this kind of small role to me, Xiao Ji." , if not, add Xiaojing and Xiaolu."

Lianpei saw that he didn't speak, and he suddenly felt a little guilty: "Master, we are your priests after all, and we can't even clean up a small evil, so we will embarrass you if we speak out..."

Lian Pei: "So, I'd better come by myself, I'm afraid of shame."

Xiao Ji put on a small face: "Great God..."

After talking, the two arrived at the king's bedroom. Since the king believed in Xie Chong, his karmic lotus could not be seen, so he didn't know where he was, and Xie Chong was also very smart, hiding his aura.

However, Lianpei is a proud master, and he didn't want to use his spiritual power to search for it, so he just sat on his soft bed in his bedroom, eating cherry blossom pancakes and waiting.

After looking through the bedroom several times, Xiao Ji yawned: "Master, why don't I go out and look for it?"

Lian Pei was resting his eyes with his eyes closed, the evil smell in the palace was so strong that it gave him a headache: "Go, be careful."

After Xiao Ji left, several court ladies came in to clean up.

"Sister Cha, let me tell you, I saw Young Fu at the prison today..." said a court lady.

"how is he?"

"What else? Is the sky prison a place for people to stay? The skin can be peeled off in three days."

"Hey, how many noble daughters would like to marry Shao Fu, who is extraordinary in appearance and graceful, but unfortunately he is about to die at a young age..."

Lianpei heard this young man twice in just half a day, found a comfortable position unconsciously, and listened with his ears up.

"It is said that the crown prince pleaded for him and was beaten so hard that he couldn't get out of bed. The lord of the country is really ruthless..."

The two maids lit the incense and went out.

Lianpei closed his eyes and thought, this Young Fu is directly admonishing the lord of the country and was sentenced to death. Speaking of which, he also defended his dignity as an upright god, so he felt pity, and wanted to find out the cause and effect of him. Look, if he really can't escape this disaster, maybe he can save his life.

But I couldn't find it after searching for a long time. It's not surprising that I can't find the karma of the king, but it's strange that I can't find the karma of an ordinary mortal.

Lian Pei sat up straight, he cared more about this young man than that little evil spirit.

The spiritual power radiated from his body, covering the entire palace in an instant. He stood up and walked towards the prison.

No matter how strict the guards in the sky prison are, it is impossible to stop Lian Pei, but just as he went down inside, he heard the guards on shift talking: "The prince still wants to see Shao Fu, and someone will send a message, and he will be there in a while. Don't look back."

"That's late, Shao Fu was picked up by Uncle Da Zong half an hour ago."

The guard who just arrived asked urgently: "Uncle Da Zong? What is Bo Da Zong doing mentioning a death row prisoner?"

"Da Zongbo came here with an oral order, saying that the king will use the young master to sacrifice to the goddess."

Lianpei could hear clearly from the side, that the evil being called Goddess is currently only taking up the karma of some royal relatives and relatives with destiny in their fate, but if he uses living people as sacrifices, he must get rid of them as soon as possible .

The two guards were stunned suddenly, and one of them said incoherently, "I will sacrifice at Lichun Palace."

The two only felt a gust of wind blowing from the depths of the prison, and they woke up.

Although Lichun Palace is called a palace, it is actually next to the back mountain of the palace, where the royal family has been offering sacrifices since the founding of the dynasty.

Green bamboos and peach trees cover the entire back mountain in a patchwork manner. Green leaves have grown on the branches of the peach trees. Compared with when the peach blossoms are only blooming at the beginning, they have a more fluffy feeling.

There is a river at the foot of the back mountain. This river flows from the palace, winds around the foot of the back mountain for half a circle, and then runs northward.

The river water is circled into a large pool in the bamboo forest. The marble-paved pool wall looks as white as jade, with a strong sense of sacredness.

It used to be a place where the royal family worshiped Lianpei, the God of righteousness. During major festivals, lotus lanterns would be placed here to pray for peace and prosperity.

On weekdays, the princesses of various palaces and the daughters of ministers would also come here to secretly pray for marriage under the pretext of playing.

Lianpei walked along the bamboo forest path, and heard human voices from a distance.

"...Since you don't believe in Goddesses, then you will come to worship and let you see the majesty of Goddesses..."

"None of you is allowed to intercede, whoever asks for mercy, just go with him!"

"Muyue, Muyue, as the pillar of the country, if you don't teach the prince well, you even question the goddess and Gu! Have you never seen the miracle of the goddess? Have you never learned that seeing is believing, or are you just a fool? "

No one spoke over there, quietly.

Lian Pei pushed aside the bamboo leaves and walked over, and saw a man wearing a green bamboo-colored gown, with his hands tied behind his back, iron chains and stones hanging from his feet, kneeling upright by the pool.

The lord of the country is just in the prime of life, but there is a very thick blackness under his eyes, his body is bent, and the whole body is covered with black mist.

sad.

Lian Pei thought to herself.

No one could see him, and he walked up to the kneeling man before he could see his face clearly.

A handsome face, soft but sharp features, expressionless, lowered eyes.

Lianpei thought, if he raised his eyes, he would definitely see a pair of eyes that were as bright as stars.

But the man kept his eyelids down, as if he didn't even want to see the king, he must be extremely disappointed.

The few ministers next to him wanted to ask for mercy, but they were afraid of the anger of the moody king, so they all lowered their heads and remained silent.

Lianpei saw a half-naked woman on the stone platform on the other side of the pond.

The so-called Goddess's messy long hair covered half of her face, and she could vaguely see the white bones under her hair.This is not a goddess, it is clearly a ghost girl.

Lianpei had mixed feelings in his heart, half of them were laughing at the ghost girl and the king, and half of them felt that they were pathetic.

But the saddest thing is this young man named Mu Yue.

"Master!" Xiao Ji's voice came from behind, "So you are here, you are still faster than me!"

Xiao Ji ran up behind him: "Great God, let me do it." As he spoke, he channeled his spiritual power and attacked in the direction of the ghost girl.

The ghost girl was able to hold the lord of a country in her hands, and she still had two brushes. Sensitively sensing the fluctuation of spiritual power, she jumped up and avoided Xiao Ji's attack.

Xiao Ji no longer hid her figure from her. When the ghost girl saw the priest, she did not escape and counterattacked. She flew over from the pond and fought with Xiao Ji.

Although Xiao Ji looks young, he is actually over 30 years old. He grew up in Zezhi Shrine. Lian Pei said he was ashamed of him, but actually believed in his ability.

At the moment he is more interested in Mu Yue.

All of a sudden, there were evil winds in the bamboo forest, and white waves even appeared in the calm pool, rippling to the shore one after another. The king, ministers and guards were startled and frightened. The king shouted loudly: "The goddess is angry! The goddess is angry! !” Surrounded by guards for protection.

Lian Pei squatted in front of Mu Yue, this young man was expressionless until now, as if he didn't care about anything.

Suddenly, outside the bamboo forest, a boy about eight years old stumbled over, shouting: "Young master! Young master! Father, please be merciful!"

Hearing this voice, Mu Yue showed some expression and raised her head.

The Great God saw those eyes the moment he raised his head, and they were indeed as bright and clear as he thought.

"Prince!" the young man shouted, "Don't come here! Go back!"

The ghost girl fought with Xiao Ji and was defeated. She rushed over when she saw the prince, and wanted to take the child as a hostage, so she showed her figure in a hurry.

Everyone in the bamboo forest saw the terrifying appearance of the ghost girl, and all gasped.

"Protect the prince!" The guard yelled, but it was beyond his reach, and Xiao Ji was a step too late when he rushed over, and the ghost girl got into the prince's small body.

The prince who was possessed walked towards the pool in a dull manner, muttering: "If you let me go, let me go, if you don't let me go, I will drown this child!"

This was said to Xiao Ji, but the king nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, whatever the goddess wants, I will give it!"

"Shut up!!" Just as Xiao Ji was about to speak, he heard the young man kneeling on the ground shout angrily, "Master, that's your son!"

The lord of the country has long been corrupted by the ghost girl, so he doesn't care about his own son: "As long as you can calm your anger, you can do whatever you want, prince, princess... empress, it's up to you!"

Xiao Ji showed his figure, changed his regular clothes, and wore a holy priest's robe.

No one in the world does not know this dress, it is a robe that only priests who serve the righteous gods in close proximity can wear.

The ministers and guards knelt down one after another and bowed to the ground: "My lord priest!"

With a serious expression on Xiaoji's young face, he glared at the king: "Do you have any brains? How dare you believe in such evil spirits? You are tired of living, and you will die wherever you love! Do you want to be a father like this? Push your own son into Xie Chong's mouth?!"

The prince had already walked to the edge of the pool, with half of his foot in the air, Mu Yue understood, and hurriedly said: "If you want a hostage, I will be your hostage, and you let the prince go!"

"..." Lianpei just felt that this person might indeed be as the lord said, he was a fool, and he had such a good-looking face for nothing.

He sighed, and pushed a trace of spiritual power from his palm to Xiao Ji's vest.

Xiao Ji's face was overjoyed, it seemed that the master let himself out of the limelight.

He raised his arm, and an invisible hand grabbed the prince's chest and dragged him to a safe place in an instant.

The ghost girl screamed and didn't want to leave the hostage's body, but she couldn't resist the spiritual power belonging to the righteous god, so she was forcibly pulled out, shrinking into a black mist on the ground.

Xiao Ji covered the ghost girl with an enchantment, and said seriously: "The so-called goddess is nothing but evil spirits. You and other mortals were deceived because the ghost girl disturbed their minds. From now on, you need to distinguish carefully, be careful in your words and deeds..."

The majesty of the priest made people dare not look directly at him. He did not blame the king who did not distinguish between right and wrong and was not devout to the great god, because he knew the great god, and the great god would never ask others to worship him.

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the bamboo forest, trotting to catch up with Lian Pei who had gone a long way.

Before entering the bamboo forest, Lian Pei glanced back at the thin, straight bamboo-like back.

Two days later, the two priests, Xiao Ji and Xiao Jing, moved the counted mortal offerings outside Lian Pei's temple.

Outside the temple is a lotus pond, which is usually surrounded by immortal energy, and the pink and white lotus flowers are looming and even beautiful in the mist.

The great master propped his head on his hands, lying on his side by the pool, gnawing on an apple, and said without turning his head when he heard a sound: "Don't move it to me, I can't put it down..."

Xiao Ji: "The Great God is admired by the world, and you protect them to live and work in peace and contentment. This is their wish."

Lianpei didn't say anything else, and continued to eat his apples. The sky over Zongshan was cloudless, and the warm spring sun was shining on his body, which made people feel lazy.

With a sound of splashing, a stream of water splashed up in the lotus pond, and the water mist was broken up a little and scattered in all directions.

Could it be fish?

Lianpei stared at the place where the string of water splashes came out, where suddenly the water splashed and splashed, as if something was struggling in the water.

He sat up, drew a circle in mid-air with his fingers, grabbed the underwater thing with spiritual power and lifted it up.

Under the bright sunshine, the water droplets connect the water surface and mid-air, and each one is shining with colorful golden light.

The man just fell from the sky.

Lianpei's mind went blank, she reached out subconsciously and caught him.

Master Shao Fu fell on the Great God, coughing violently, and it took him a long time to recover.

Lianpei patted him on the back and laughed, with happiness in his laughter.

Mu Yue, who was drenched all over, looked around and asked, "Where is this?"

Lian Pei: "This is Zezhi Shrine." He placed his hands on Mu Yue's waist, feeling that it was very thin but firm.

Mu Yue got up from him with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry...thank you for saving me..."

Lian Pei: "Why did you appear in the water?"

Mu Yue guessed that this person should be a priest, knelt down opposite him, blushed and said, "I was treated as a offering, um... to the Great God..."

Lianpei looked back at the mountains of offerings in the hall of eyes: "..."
