53, Chapter 53(1/2)
Before taking off the red hijab embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, Song Nanyan didn't have any particularly ups and downs in his mood.
After all, I have taken in a few concubines. Although they are as beautiful as orchids and little jaspers, that's all. They have always treated me well. They are also raised in the courtyard when they are old and faded. If they want to leave, they will not be stopped.
Compared with those noble officials who often beat and scolded their wives and concubines, Song Nanyan felt that he was an extremely kind and tolerant person.
If the person in front of you is gentle, smart, and knowledgeable, you can't love him for a few more years.
But when Song Nanyan took off the hijab, he was completely stunned.
Even though he had seen strong winds and waves, he couldn't help but take a few steps back, opening his mouth to shout.
The next moment, my voice seemed to be blocked by a stone, and my efforts were in vain, and I couldn't make any sound.
Wave your long sleeves to eliminate the illusion.
In Song Nanyan's eyes, the other party's original wedding dress also disappeared. The man was as handsome as an immortal in his sapphire high bun and wide-sleeved robe.
Most importantly, it looks familiar.
No, it looks familiar.
"Do you still remember me?" the other party asked.
Song Nanyan was gifted with a photographic memory, so of course he would not forget it, but he did not dare to think about it.
How could someone who had been dead for many years appear alive?
"You..." Song Nanyan found that he could speak again. "You, teacher?"
As soon as this guess came out, his expression became more and more bizarre.
The director nodded: "I thought you had forgotten me after not seeing each other for so many years."
"You don't have to..." Die?
Song Nanyan still remembered that he went to Liuyi Academy and often wrote to the chief to tell him about his experiences and studies in Yiyi.
He rarely replied, and usually he had doubts, so he asked Song Nanyan to convey his advice to the academy scholar, usually in just a few words, and it would be good if he could reply to one out of ten letters.
But later, the letters Song Nanyan received suddenly stopped.
It was strange in his heart, but he had left the house a long time ago, and there was no one close to him except Chang Yi. Song Nanyan could not go all the way back to check for the moment. He could only wait a few years until he became an official, and then send someone back to visit.
, after this visit, I found out that Chang had left without even resigning his official post a long time ago. He was missing and no one knew where he was going.
At first, Song Nanyan sent people to inquire about him, but gradually, as several years passed, there was no news about his enlightenment teacher. More than ten years later, Song Nanyan felt that the teacher was probably dead and had great power over the country. He even returned to his hometown and laid a tomb for his teacher with great fanfare.
, erect a stone tablet, pay homage in a serious manner, shed a few tears, remember the friendship between our master and apprentice, and express our filial piety.
Who would have thought that the master would come in on the sedan chair that was supposed to be served by the concubine, sit beside the bed during the wedding night, and smile at Wei Wei, "Do you still remember me?"
Five thunders struck the sky, and a Buddha was born.
Song Nanyan couldn't describe his mood at this moment.
"When will I tell you that I will die?" Chang raised his eyebrows.
"Can……"
In terms of the lifespan of an ordinary person, even if he does not die, he will at least be an octogenarian.
But not only did he not look old, his facial features and expressions were exactly the same as when we first met him.
Song Nanyan also learned some Taoist cultivation Kung Fu from this teacher, but he was really not interested. He only learned the basics. Then he met a chance and was given Buddhist elixirs. It is said that monks can make great progress in cultivation if they take them.
Being able to stay young and keep his appearance forever, ordinary people would already be old at this age. Song Nanyan was still in his thirties. If there were no accidents, even if he could not reach the life span of a monk, he would still be able to live much longer than ordinary people.
During his decades of career as an official, he had already learned all sorts of tricks to intrigue and scheming to cross rivers and demolish bridges. Deep down in his heart, he was grateful to his mentor. Perhaps because he left early and left no trace, Chang Song's image in Nanyan's mind was quite tall, as straight as a mountain.
I admire Zhi Jing Xing Zhi, but I never thought that I would see the master alive in my lifetime, and in the bridal chamber.
So, the master should also be a monk?
How can an ordinary person remain the same for decades without looking old?
"As you expected, I am indeed a monk." The elder seemed to know what he was thinking.
Shocked, Song Nanyan's mood was complicated: "Why have you never come to me after so many years? Is it possible that my disciple is so insignificant in your heart? I think back then, the disciple had not eaten three meals a day and was in ragged clothes. Fortunately, he met the master. Fang Ru
Reaching the sky in one step, you suddenly have the dignity of a human being. I still remember how happy I was when you allowed me to study in your house..."
Chang interrupted: "Do you still remember why I named you Unspeakable?"
Song Nanyan:......
Chang was very satisfied and suddenly fell silent.
"I encountered some things over the years and was trapped in a certain place. I only came out recently. Just because I was investigating something, I had to come to you first. When the matter comes to an end, it will not be too late for us to rekindle our old friendship."
Song Nanyan said: "Master, please speak."
The commander then briefly talked about the existence of Jiuchongyuan, and that the demons might have blended into the human world, waiting for opportunities to cause trouble, and then mentioned the Canghaiyue on Princess Zhaoyue's head.
"Princess Zhaoyue should stay in your emperor's palace forever. If someone around her has a problem, it will easily affect the emperor. If you can't find out who has the problem for the time being, I can follow you into the palace to investigate."
Song Nanyan suddenly received so much news that it was hard to digest.
After all, this is a world where monks are respected. Although they hold power, they have to deal with monks from various sects from time to time. In particular, they have to be polite to these people and not offend them. However, ordinary monks would not dare to be rude to Song Nan, even if the Grand Master is here.
, knowing Song Nanyan's identity, he cannot ignore the existence. This is a world of mutual perfection. Although monks are transcendent, they occasionally need secular power to show their respect. For example, the Ten Thousand Lotus Buddha Land, which is revered as the state religion by Youguo, is in Youguo.
It has reached the point of becoming a king and becoming a saint, and the dignitaries themselves also need the protection of monks. Just like Song Nanyan, the Prime Minister's Mansion, there are at least a dozen monks inside and outside to protect him day and night to prevent evil spirits.
But these monks were not able to guard against the teacher's Li Daitao stiffness.
It can be seen from this that if people are not useless, teachers will be strong.
Song Nanyan didn't think there was anything wrong with his own judgment in selecting people, and he preferred to be the one who chose the best.
"Teacher, I have also heard about the troubles caused by demons. In the late years of the previous dynasty, I served as an official in the imperial court. Although I was not in the central government at that time, I also heard some secrets. It is said that the late emperor was bewitched by the enchantress possessed by demons and ate some
If you eat something you shouldn't eat, you will become insane and do many unusual things. When this dynasty was founded, the late emperor also took strict precautions and tried his best to prevent the recurrence of the past. There were no less than four grandmasters who guarded the palace all year round, not to mention
Those guests who come and visit often. If the people of Zhaoyue Kingdom are really so bold, I can only say that they are seeking death."
He calmed down and gradually recovered from the shock of "my master is not dead but has become a god".
"I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still as charming as before. I miss you day and night. I also ask the teacher to stay for a few days to take a rest and let me fulfill my filial piety."
He looked like he was smiling but not smiling: "Don't you want to know where your wife is?"
Song Nanyan choked and really forgot about this incident.
"I'm sure you won't embarrass her."
Chief: "She and the attendant are both asleep under the bed. You can wake them up later."
Song Nanyan took the opportunity to ask: "That person outside the door..."
He looked like he was smiling but not smiling: "Are you interested?"
Song Nanyan smiled dryly: "If you are willing to pull the strings, my position as the principal wife can be for her..."
"You can ask her yourself, I'm not a matchmaker."
I always felt that although my apprentice was doing well in the secular world, there was something wrong with his vision of people. He actually dared to be lustful towards Xu Jingxian, and he was so ignorant of life and death.
Don't think Xu Jingxian was so obedient and obedient before. It was because of her long-term strength that she had nothing to say. Xu Jingxian didn't talk like this at first. If you think she is easy to get along with because of this, you are completely blind.
"Getting back to the subject, there are many demons and monsters who have advanced cultivation and are connected with monks. Even the Grand Master cannot easily detect it. I don't trust others, only my own eyes. You must find an opportunity to help me enter the palace. If not, I will
Then we’ll find another way.”
Chang said calmly, with all the negative meaning in his words.
Song Nanyan had no idea what his master's level of cultivation was and what an honorable position he had in the past. He only listened to what the other party wanted and had the intention of forcing his way in if he didn't agree. He hurriedly said: "You misunderstood. The disciple is not willing to agree. In the palace,
The situation is complicated. The monks around the emperor have arranged it so that no one else can interfere. I have tried my best and worked hard over the years to be able to talk to one or two of them. But you also know that the temperament of those masters
Weird, you won't completely obey my orders and let me send you around."
Chang thought thoughtfully: "You or not, the monks around the emperor arrange it, how do you secretly fight?"
Song Nanyan smiled bitterly: "Teacher's words are as sharp as ever! Yes, imperial power and prime ministerial power have been incompatible since ancient times. I came from a high-ranking family in the former dynasty and have always looked down on me. It's just that I was appointed by the late emperor and I have many supporters in the court.
She couldn't easily touch me. But the disciples in front of the monks in the palace couldn't fully take the initiative. The master I made friends with was named Han Ye, an elder of the East China Sea Sect. Either the disciples were asked to check the situation first, and the assistant palace
When conducting internal investigations, my identity should be much more upright."
Chief: "Have you ever thought that the monks in the palace may also be infiltrated by demons, and if they have problems, they will be more difficult to detect than ordinary people?"
Song Nanyan was startled: "Isn't this impossible?"
Although he has been in officialdom for many years, he has dealt with a lot of people. He has seen the magical powers of monks, but he has not understood them deeply, and it is even more difficult to imagine them.
After all, monks and ordinary people are like two worlds.
Chang Dao: "There are barriers set up by many masters outside the palace walls. It's not impossible for me to pass through forcefully. It will only disturb some people and be a little troublesome. You can just try to bring me into the palace. You don't have to worry about anything else."
.”
Song Nanyan was really afraid that he would force his way into the imperial city if they disagreed. If there was a big fuss, he wouldn't be able to get away with it, so he might as well help his master find a way to bring him in.
"Teacher, don't worry, I have a way, I can only make you feel wronged."
To be continued...
