Cinderella: The Legend of Yunhua

The carriage drove through the bustling market and entered a quiet alley.After getting out of the car, he saw a tall and rich gate standing in front of him, with two lifelike huge stone lions parked on both sides, and two young servants standing in front of the gate, when he saw the visitor, he greeted him respectfully and called out, "My lord. "

It turns out that Song Xishu belongs to the royal family!

Song Xishu saw that the master and apprentice in the car were not panicked because they knew his identity, so they had a higher opinion of him.

Afterwards, Song Xishu led Mo Yunhua under the car, and led the master and apprentice into the inner courtyard of the palace.The courtyard has a royal atmosphere, green tiles and red eaves are hidden among the lush trees, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions are indistinct, and it can be seen that the owner has carefully built them.

The three of them passed through the flower hall, and walked through the long corridor to a small courtyard deep in the courtyard. Song Xishu led the master and apprentice in, and said enthusiastically, "This is the most secluded part of the palace. It's in a small courtyard, Mr. Mo please live here if he likes to be quiet, Brother Lian, follow me to another small courtyard to have a look?"

Mo Yunhua said, "Lian'er can just live here with me, don't bother the prince to make arrangements."

Song Chenhong was taken aback, "Aren't you neglecting Mr. Mo?"

Lian Que smiled gently, "Your Majesty is very kind, I am used to being with Master for many years, so it doesn't matter."

Song Xishu saw that the master and the apprentice had made up their minds, so it was inconvenient to say more, and said, "The two of you have a rest first, and I will send my servant over to call you after dinner, so I will leave first."

Lian Kuang nodded and sent Song Xishu out.

But it was said that Song Xishu left the small courtyard and went straight to the study, and called his personal attendants to invite his third brother Song Chenhong to the palace.These two brothers are the third and fourth princes of Yan Zhou Kingdom, they are of high status and quite powerful in the court.The current monarch of Yanzhou Kingdom is their second elder brother, Song Fengxuan, who died in battle in the early years.In addition to these two people, there are still two princes in the court, which are divided into two forces, each of which is in harmony with its appearance and separation of spirits.Song Chenhong and Song Xishu's mother compatriots played together with Song Fengxuan since they were young, and their relationship is very close.

Song Fengxuan was originally a generation of Mingjun, who believes in rewards and punishes them, and comprehensively checks his name and facts.In the first ten years of his reign, he worked diligently and diligently, built dikes and dams internally to control flooding, reduced exorbitant taxes, encouraged the people to cultivate wasteland, and personally went to the outside world dozens of times to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. The land was expanded, the world was peaceful, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The ancestors are glorious, and the heirs are down.

But since five years ago when he came back from a tour in undercover and brought a man named Liu Peiling, everything changed.After Liu Peiling entered the court, although he did not try to form cliques, he was idle and never sat in the court, and his political achievements were poor. However, for some reason, Song Fengxuan seemed to value him quite a lot, and even ignored the opposition of the senior officials in the court. He was promoted, worshiped as the imperial censor, and became an important minister in the court.

After Liu Peiling took the position of Doctor Censor, Song Fengxuan entrusted Liu Peiling to deal with the important affairs of the court, while he himself changed his previous image of working hard to govern, he often didn't go to the morning court, and when he came occasionally, he looked sluggish. casual.Most of the rest of the time, he and Liu Peiling were in the inner hall, staying for a whole day.The ministers of the imperial court repeatedly wrote letters of remonstrance, but Song Fengxuan ignored them, and continued to go his own way, which was quite different from the past. Therefore, it was privately spread in the imperial court that the Holy Majesty would be more masculine after he went on tour, and that he was as good as Long Yang with the imperial censor.

It is said that Liu Peiling was born with thin eyebrows and narrow eyes, pink face and thin cheeks, and she was quite romantic.On weekdays, in front of Song Fengxuan, he ignored the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers, and behaved recklessly. Even in the court, he did not hide the emotion in his eyes. Moreover, he has been in the capital for the past few years, and he has not shown any signs of aging. Moisturize it, there are rumors among colleagues that he is the reincarnation of a vixen, who specializes in seduction.

The two brothers Song Xishu and Song Fengxuan were originally from the same bloodline. Seeing that the other two princes took advantage of the opportunity of the emperor's negligence of government affairs to store troops in the dark and store food, waiting for the opportunity, they also went to the palace many times to face the saints, but they were all blocked. Outside the temple.The two of his brothers agreed that the rumors in the court were true, and it was because Liu Peiling had seduced his imperial brother, hoping to find an expert from the outside world to eradicate this evil spirit, which was a disaster for the country and the people. Teacher Hua and his disciples are invited to enter the mansion for discussion.

……

At nightfall, Song Xishu sent his maid over to deliver dinner, and Mo Yunhua and Lian Que followed the maid to the dining room.Autumn is getting cooler, and at night, the cold is even worse, and a thick scarlet blanket hangs down on the door.The two masters and apprentices picked up the curtain and entered, bypassing a large screen of red sandalwood shelves, and came to the dining room. The candles in the hall were brightly lit, and the stove was emitting incense, which was faintly wafting.The servant girls all waited on both sides, silently.

Seeing the visitor, Song Xishu stood up to greet him and said, "I haven't introduced yet, this is my third brother, Song Chenhong, and third elder brother, these two are the worldly masters I happened to meet in Linxianju today." After the two parties met the ceremony, they sat down.Song Xishu saw that both master and apprentice were wearing thin shirts, and said, "It's cold, why don't you add any more clothes at night." He then ordered a servant girl, "Xiaoyu, bring two fur cloaks here. When I go out later, I will shield the two distinguished guests from the cold."

Mo Yunhua said, "Thank you, my lord, for your care. We have been like this all year round, and we have already gotten used to it, so we don't need to work hard."

Hearing this, Song Xishu waved his hand to the maidservant, picked up the jug warming on the stove, stood up and poured two cups of hot wine for the two of them, and said, "You two have suffered a bit of cold this trip, drink it first. Some warm wine to drive away the cold."

Mo Yunhua said lightly, "I don't like to drink alcohol, please help yourself."

Song Xi didn't make any demands, and drank a glass by himself, thinking about Mo Yunhua secretly. He was attracted by the first time he saw Mo Yunhua in the afternoon - Mo Yunhua's handsome face in the crowd, that piece of The spotless temperament, and the disposition without joy or sorrow, blended together, there is a sense of dignity, as clear as a god, and people can't help but be fascinated by it.

Song Xishu grew up in the imperial palace. He was surrounded by many people with noble status since he was a child. Although he made friends regardless of his status and had a good reputation among scholars, no one made him have such affection——He was close to each other but And with a sense of awe.It has to be said that he has a natural liking for Mo Yunhua that is different from everyone else's. Seeing that Mo Yunhua doesn't like drinking, he said with a smile, "Mr. Mo, I think your demeanor is very comparable, and you must not be equal to us ordinary people. I don't like drinking, Xiaoyu! Serve me a pot of green tea."

Mo Yunhua replied, "Thank you."

Song Xishu smiled. He lived in this world. He has seen men like crucian carp crossing the river, but there is no man who is so beautiful and has such character. He praised, "Mr. Character."

Song Chenhong echoed from the side, "It should be! It should be!"

The two brothers praised so grandly, but seeing that the person who was praised didn't care at all, they had no choice but to shut up.

Lian Que glanced sideways at Mo Yunhua, saw that his expression was unmoved, and thought to himself, thinking that when I first met Master at Qinglian Peak, I was also taken by his voice and bearing, Master is really unparalleled in the world.

Mo Yunhua has practiced the precepts for more than 100 years. He quit meat and fish early on. Facing the table full of delicacies from mountains and seas, Lian Que picked up a few chopsticks of vegetarian dishes and put them on Mo Yunhua's plate, saying, "Master, these few vegetarian dishes taste delicious. It's light, try it."

Mo Yunhua picked up the chopsticks and tasted a few mouthfuls.

Seeing this, Song Xishu immediately said, "This king is being rude. Mr. Mo knows that he is not stained with mortal dust at a glance, so he asked the kitchen to add some vegetarian dishes."

Mo Yunhua said, "My lord, you don't have to be so polite."

After eating for a while, seeing that the atmosphere was no longer restrained, Song Chenhong thought about it for a while, and said solemnly, "Mr. Mo, my younger brother saw your master and apprentice in the restaurant today. You are very handsome, and you can tell at a glance that you are a master of the world. Let's take you together." It is really a ruthless request to attract the palace."

"What's the matter?" Mo Yunhua said.

"Mr. Mo doesn't know something. I have prospered and prospered the Zhou Kingdom for hundreds of years, and my second brother is in power now. The second brother has always loved the people like a son and worked hard to govern, but everything changed after he came back from a visit five years ago. The emperor That time my brother brought a man named Liu Peiling from another place, and he loved him very much. Regardless of the objections of the courtiers, he was added to the ranks many times. It is rumored that Liu Peiling is the reincarnation of a vixen. My brother and I didn't believe it at first, but not long ago, I learned from the emperor's eunuch Eunuch Xu that the emperor's brother slept with Liu Peiling all day long and made the concubine of the harem The concubine is aside, the harem is full of chaos, the emperor was not close to masculinity in the past, why did he suddenly change his temperament?"

"Besides, my fifth and sixth brothers have coveted the throne for a long time. Seeing the turmoil in the court, they secretly entangled the gangs to move and try to usurp power. I reminded the emperor many times, but he turned a deaf ear. That evildoer must have disturbed his mind. Not long after, many spies were sent to investigate Liu Peiling. According to the spies' report, Liu Peiling sent people to search for things all day long, and hid in the palace to refine some kind of elixir. I don't know if it is to poison the emperor. I can see you two today. Let's take a look. I know I'm an expert in the world, and I hope that Mr. Mo can accompany me to the palace, except for that evildoer who ruined the country."

Mo Yunhua said, "From what I see in the weather of the imperial city, there is no sign of rampant evil spirits. Maybe it's just a villain causing trouble. Your lord, don't worry too much."

"If it's not a monster, Mr. Mo can't get rid of that villain for me?"

"My generation cultivates the way of tranquility and inaction. Since there are no monsters and evildoers, we can't interfere with the affairs of the court and mess up the fate of the heaven. The fate of the heavens descends on you Yanzhou. If the emperor obeys the laws of the heavens and listens, then it will be natural. It is the prosperity of the country and the people, if you lose the way of the emperor and believe in the villain, then you have exhausted the power of Yan Zhou."

Song Chenhong was puzzled, "Shouldn't cultivators take the safety of the common people as their own responsibility? This Liu Peiling disturbed the court, and when the time comes, it will bring disaster to the common people. Why can't Mr. Mo intervene?"

Mo Yunhua said indifferently, "Everything in the world is born and dies. Misfortune and fortune are determined by God. Man-made pursuit of advantages and avoidance of disadvantages disrupts the cycle of heaven, and there will be retribution in the future. If your dynasty is exhausted, no matter who can stop it No, what's the point of me intervening?"

"Could it be that Mr. Mo is going to watch this villain bring harm to the country and the people?" Song Chenhong said angrily.

Mo Yunhua was noncommittal.

Lian Que was also a little anxious when he heard this, and asked, "Master, didn't you say that you should be merciful and kind to others? If the government is in turmoil at this moment, wouldn't it harm innocent people?"

"Brother Lian still understands righteousness!" Song Chenhong said.

Song Xishu stood up and said in circles, "Mr. Mo is an expert in the world, and he will not be disturbed by the mundane affairs of my generation. Since the fate of the day cannot be changed, my brothers dare not force it. It's just that Liu Peiling is really weird, and I hope that Mr. Mo will accompany me to the palace, and help us find out who Liu Peiling is, so that my brothers can feel at ease?"

Song Xishu's request was not too much, since it would not disturb the luck of heaven, Mo Yunhua agreed.

Seeing that Mo Yunhua nodded in agreement, Lian Que was also relieved.

After the two left the dining room and returned to their residence, Mo Yunhua waved his hand to open a wall, and said in a cold voice, "Lian'er, I asked you to travel in the mountains as a teacher, in the hope that you can get out of the world after experiencing all kinds of things in the world, but you plunged into it." , how can you practice meditation when you are entangled in mundane affairs in the future?"

Lian Que said aggrievedly, "Master, I just don't want to see such a prosperous country with constant wars and strife and people displaced. If I can do my part to keep the safety and security here, wouldn't it be a meritorious deed?"

Mo Yunhua said angrily, "You are lying! The way of heaven is so great, the world has its own laws, and the dynasty has its own destiny. How can you tamper with it according to your will? If you don't even have this kind of awe, in the future Don't you dare to do anything wrong?"

Lian Que hurriedly said, "I dare not, since I swore that day not to do anything that would annoy my master, I will not cross the line in this life, I know I was wrong..."

Mo Yunhua slowed down his tone, "Remember in the future, don't meddle in the cycle of heaven's laws at will. Doing justice for the sky does not mean doing whatever you like. Tomorrow, you will go and see with the teacher."

At the moment, Lian Que didn't dare to say much, he knew that he had violated the taboo of cultivating immortals, and tampering with the misfortunes and fortunes of the world would be a violation of the way of heaven, and if he still put his affection into it, it would be even more detrimental to his practice.

The author has something to say: write here

It reminds me of Qiu Chuji written by Mr. Jin Yong

to teach everywhere

I think the biggest difference between Taoism and Buddhism is that they are more radical. In general, they both seek a quiet and selfless heart.

But after all, Taoism is cultivating in this world, and it pays more attention to human factors. However, I like Mo Yunhua's attitude of being born in the world. Since he was born in the world, he should be concerned about it.

It's too hot-blooded, isn't it a bit...uh...

In a second I turn green...

Flowers, flowers, flowers

I'm tired of shouting
