Chapter one hundred and ninety-first
Master Huicheng from Tianguang Temple also saw Ada's strangeness, Shi Wu first helped him to help him and said, "Master Jueyuan's handwriting is really good. Grandpa Ada, you are a great calligrapher, come and review it."
Master Huicheng heard Shi Wu say that the old man next to him was a calligraphy master, so he suppressed his doubts for the time being, walked over and asked, "This donor, I wonder what these two vertical plaques are like?"
Upon hearing this, Ada stretched out his fingers. Master Huicheng was afraid that Ada would break the vertical plaque, but seeing him just following the four big words "Dawn Breaking Dawn" on the left, he stopped what he wanted to persuade.
After the four words "The sky light breaks through the dawn" were drawn out by Ada in the air, Ada felt that the person who wrote these four words was in trouble at the time. When he imitated the Qi and energy, he also felt a huge force in his hand competing with him. Ada looked at the "Golden and Stones are Open" on the vertical plaque on the right. When the first golden plaque started, Ada felt that the huge force was stronger than the one on the vertical plaque on the left, completely bound the fingers that he was about to fall. After Ada concentrated his mind, there was a faint blood color in his fingers. He pointed the fingers blessed with murderous aura and broke away from the huge force, and wrote the four words "Golden and Stones are Open" without any force.
After writing, the eight big words echoed and impacted Ada's heart. He thought carefully about the strokes he had just fallen, as if he was facing Master Jueyuan back then. After a moment, Ada said, "Master Jueyuan wrote these eight words with his hand on his pen at that time. These eight words have been baptized by two hundred years of wind and frost. The words can also contain the momentum he was writing. It is really magical!"
Master Huicheng was shocked when he heard this and replied: "According to Master I, Abbot Jueyuan has great ambitions, and he did write these eight words with his fingers at that time."
"Have great ambitions..." Ada nodded, "He is indeed very ambitious. The dawn of the sky wrote down his hopes for Tianguang Temple, and the metal and stone are even more visible."
Master Huicheng didn't know what Ada was saying, and asked, "I wonder if this donor can I say something in detail?"
Ada didn't say much, but said, "I felt Master Jueyuan's ambition from these eight words, and was infected by it and then arose on his own. He imitated it in his heart and spoke it out."
Master Huicheng said relievedly: "If Master Jueyuan is still here, he will definitely regard the donor as a destined person."
A Da laughed and said, "Maybe."
Seeing that Ada had covered up his past well, Shiwu interrupted: "Master, I'm thirsty."
Seeing that he was a little negligent, Master Huicheng hurriedly opened the door and let them in. He went to the cafeteria not far away, where there was hot water that he had just cooked in the pot in the morning, which was just enough to get it for tea.
When Master Huicheng walked to make tea, Shi Wu asked softly: "Grandpa, what did you find just now? Why were you suddenly attracted by those two vertical plaques? Fortunately, I reacted quickly and said that you are a calligraphy and everyone fooled it."
Ada was still thinking about something and replied: "It's okay, I just discovered some interesting things, but I'm not sure yet. But you really worshipped the Buddha this time."
Shi Wu didn't understand, so he said, "Ah? What do you mean by this?"
Ada said: "It's too early now. I'll tell you after I've confirmed some things."
Seeing that Ah Da said this, Shi Wu didn't say anything else, just sat quietly on a stool and looked at the simple Zen room. He felt that Master Huicheng was such a good monk. The place was so miserable that he was still willing to stay here and wait for those who believe in Buddhism. If it were someone else, there would not be a few pilgrims throughout the year, and he would have run away somewhere else long ago.
Not long after, Master Huicheng brought the tea over, carefully poured three cups and handed them to Shi Wu and the others.
While asking Shi Wu to drink tea, Master Huicheng talked to him about Buddhist principles. Although Shi Wu was not very clear, he was smart by nature. Master Huicheng would understand all kinds of things with a little help, and could even express his own opinions. Master Huicheng had a great conversation with Shi Wu, and he thought he should have known him earlier.
Shi Wu also likes to chat with Master Huicheng, and feels that his mood will be much more open after the conversation. Just as Master Huicheng said just now, people may not necessarily have Buddhas in their hearts, but Buddha will definitely see people at some point. Shi Wu agrees very much. This time, A Daren returned safely under the encirclement of so many palace masters. Isn’t it a chance given by gods and Buddhas?
As the chat was about to go to dinner, Master Huicheng also advised Shi Wu and the other two to stay for vegetarian food. Although the temple was so bitter, there were still rice and noodles. Shi Wu had a deep fear of vegetarian food since Luoyan Temple. Not only could he not speak during the meal, but he had to finish it regardless of whether it was delicious or not. Therefore, he politely rejected Master Huicheng's kindness and put a hundred taels of silver in the merit box before leaving. Thinking that since this was left by the Scorpion Slave for him and he had come, he would also help the Scorpion Slave to accumulate some blessings.
Master Huicheng saw Shi Wu being generous, and after he went down a hundred taels of silver bill, he took another one and threw it in. Master Huicheng folded his hands together and recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, a little donor who is great good will definitely be rewarded with great blessings. Good, good, good."
Shi Wu replied, "Master Huicheng doesn't need to give it too much. If you have the chance in the future, Xiao Wu will come and visit you again."
Master Huicheng said: "I am waiting for Xiaowu to giver."
"Just leave here." Shi Wu said.
Master Huicheng sent Shiwu half a mile before returning to Tianguang Temple. Apart from the great charity who would send silver at the beginning of the year, Huicheng hadn't seen such a sincere donor for many years.
It was noon, and the frozen soil on the road melted and became muddy. Shi Wu jumped forward with his toes, like a cheerful rabbit.
Liu Li also followed Shi Wu and followed him like him to walk like this.
Ada would not play like these two children. After he exercised his strength, he stepped on the ground without any trace. He could use the power to move forward when he touched the muddy soil. Ada's shoes were not at all mud. Shi Wu's shoes were already covered with mud, and Liu Li behind him was not much better.
Shi Wu looked at Ada and enviously said, "It's still a master who is so handsome. You won't get dirty even if you walk like this mud."
Liu Li also agreed: "Grandpa Ah is really amazing."
"No matter how powerful it is, you still have to wait for you to join us." As Ada said, he walked in front.
When the three of them arrived at the nearby village, the previous uncle was no longer seen in the inn. Shi Wu was so happy that he said to Liu Li: "Sister, let's find a place to eat something first before going back."
Liu Li didn't expect that Shi Wu would ask her anything. She thought this was not good, so she told Shi Wu: "Young Master, just make a decision with Grandpa A. I will follow your arrangements."
Shi Wu actually didn't treat her as a slave at all, but just regarded her as an elder sister next door. Shi Wu said: "Sister, my grandfather cherishes food very much. Even if he only has a bowl of white rice, he can eat it very well. We are different. We are still growing, so we should eat something good. You can let go of your courage and say, what do you want to eat."
Ada was used to Shi Wu not treating him as a congenital warrior like this, so he was there to let Shi Wu and the others decide what to eat. Liu Li looked like a young master, and said a little embarrassedly: "That young master, Xiao Li wants to eat meat."
Shi Wu nodded as soon as he heard this and said, "Walk, the young master invites you to eat meat." After that, Shi Wu went to the side to ask a villager, and there was an inn food shop here.
The villager pointed to the front of the road and said, "Just go straight forward. There is a large bungalow there. But just eat and drink, there is no accommodation."
After thanking the villager, Shi Wu waved to Liu Li and Ada and said, "As I walk, I'll treat you to this meal." Seeing his impatient appearance, it seemed that he was the one who really wanted to eat meat.
After Liu Li blushed and followed, Ada walked over slowly.
Shi Wu saw the food shop a while ago. After walking in, he found that the boss wrote the names of the dishes on the wall behind the counter, which was very novel.
There was a young man with big and thick sturdy man at the counter. There were no other friends in the store. He was the boss and the guy who took it on his shoulders. When he saw Shi Wu and the other two come in, he waited for them to come and order food.
Shi Wu looked at the wall and said, "Boss, give us a fried shredded pork with sauce, a plate of braised beef, a crispy spicy chicken, and a stir-fried vegetables. By the way, I'll help me get a cup of wolfberry pigeon soup for my sister. Your pigeon soup will be cooked in the morning."
"Well, the heat is enough." The young man asked when he heard that Shi Wu was an expert, "You should drink wine. Our family has homemade rice wine, which is delicious and slightly sweet."
Shi Wu stayed away from the wine, and he asked Liu Li, "Do you want to drink?"
Liu Li had never drunk alcohol, but she had seen those people drunk in Chunhong Pavilion. She shook her head and said, "Young Master, no need."
Seeing that Liu Li didn't drink it, Shi Wu said, "Put a pot of warm water for us, and there are three bowls of rice."
"Okay. You three will sit first, and the food will come soon." The shop saw that Shi Wu had ordered a lot, and he could make a fortune whether he drank or not, so it didn't matter.
Liu Li quietly said to Shi Wu: "Young Master, you seem to have ordered too much."
Shi Wudao: "Don't worry, it won't be wasted. Grandpa A and I can eat well."
Seeing that he said this, Liu Li stopped talking.
Ada said, "Do you want to know why he can eat it?"
When Liu Li saw that Ada took the initiative to talk to her for the first time, he said timidly: "I want to."
A Dadao: "Because the steamed buns he ate the most along the way. Once, for the sake of stuttering, his mouth was swollen by the unopened chestnuts. Since then, he has not wasted every meal. He is afraid that when he eats steamed buns or has no food, he will regret his waste of food."
When Shi Wu saw Ada picking up his old friend, he blushed and said, "I learned that from Grandpa A. I want to cherish the food."
Liu Li nodded and said, "It's really not good to be hungry."
Shi Wudao: "It's not bad, it's simply torment. Also, when sleeping in the wild, if Grandpa A wasn't there, I would be afraid that I would be taken away by a beast."
"Young Master has slept in the wild?" Liu Li said in surprise.
Shi Wu didn't treat Liu Li as an outsider. When he brought the food to the store, he started talking to her from Xuanjia Village, and he also commented on the dishes that came from time to time. Liu Li also listened with relish. When the plate of spicy chicken came up, Shi Wu had already talked about him and Xuan Haoran and Lin Hu and others fighting for fairy peaches. Fortunately, Shi Wu asked the store to prepare warm water first. Shi Wu and Liu Li felt that the spicy chicken was fragrant and spicy, while pouring warm water over there.
Ada thought it would be nice to have a child of the same age, Liu Li, chat with Shi Wu, at least Shi Wu doesn't have to compete with him for food. Ada used sauce to stir-fry pork with white rice and ate it with satisfaction.
When the store brought the bowl of wolfberry pigeon soup, Liu Li had already eaten a lot of meat, but she still drank all the pigeon soup without leaving any drop. This was Shi Wu's wish, and she didn't want to waste it.
The prices here are not as expensive as Qin Du. They only spent six taels of silver after eating this meal. After Shi Wu paid the money, they all went out with their stomachs.
Fortunately, the road ahead was not bumpy. If it was still like the dirt road when they went to Tianguang Temple, they would probably be thrown out of the way if they were eating.
Ada rented a carriage and asked Shi Wu Liuli to rest in the carriage. I thought that just after dinner, Shi Wu looked at the Hu pastry in his hand and felt sleepy. Shi Wu put the pastry in his hand in the bag that Liuli was holding and said to her: "Let's have a rest, it will probably be evening until Qin Du."
After hearing this, Liu Li leaned in the carriage and fell asleep. Only Ada was thinking about things as the carriage swayed slightly. The eight words in Tianguang Temple made him more confident in his trip to the Shi family two days later.
The carriage moved forward at a constant speed, and slowed down when it was about to reach the east gate of Qindu. Somehow, the black armored army here was inspecting those entering and leaving the city.
General Ada took out the long cloth bag and embedded it directly into the wooden strips on the roof of the car. After Ada and his friends left the car and were checked, the Black Armored Army only saw a piece of paper and a bag with some clothes. When they returned to the car again, Ada took the long cloth bag and wrapped it on his back.
After Shi Wu and his party got off the bus from the post station, they found that the black armored troops patrolling around had become more than before. Shi Wu and A Damu walked towards Zuixianju without looking sideways. Even if they met the Black Armill Army, they still moved forward calmly without any rushing or slowing down. Liu Li on Shi Wu's right was a little nervous, but after Shi Wu smiled and held her hand, her heart calmed down, and she was taken back to Zuixianju by Shi Wu.
When Zeng Rong saw that Ada and the others were back, he gave them a wink and asked them to go upstairs first.
A man whom Ada knew came to Zuixianju. This man was holding a sharp iron waist knife behind him and was drinking a muffled wine. When Ada and the others came in, he just finished a pot of wine. He said to Zeng Rong: "Shopkeeper, come another pot of Zuixianju."
Zeng Rong went over and said in person: "Grandmaster, you are already the fourth pot."
It turned out that the person who came was Gao Jing, the commander of the Black Armor Army. He had encountered many troubles recently, and he came to Zeng Rong to drink to drown his sorrows in his spare time today.
Gao Jing said unhappily: "Shopkeeper, are you still afraid that I will not be able to pay the debt like that Xu Yan!"
Zeng Rong gave a thumbs up and smiled, "Haha, everyone in Qindu is well-known. Not only is it bold and honest, but also very righteous! I, Zeng Rong, don't even feel sorry for you if I give you a jar of Drunken Immortal Brewery to credit."
Gao Jing was praised by him and his mood improved a little, "Yes. But he knows nothing about these princes! Xu Yan's bastard is just not dealt with. How do I know who is the one who beat him up when he sees him unhappy?"
When Zeng Rong saw Gao Jing talking about the prince, he was so scared that he silenced: "General Gao, stop talking about this, aren't you going to drink? I'll help you get it."
Gao Jing felt aggrieved and said unhappy: "Isn't it just that Xu Yan joined the prince's sect? Qin is so old. With the information about the young master and lady Xu Yan said, I can find out a lot of me. He was a bastard and he couldn't even explain clearly. How could I know whether what he heard was true or false?"
Zeng Rong hurriedly took the wine pot from Xiao Er who was walking by, and helped Gao Jing pour a cup and said, "Teacher Gao, drink it first, if it's not enough, then add it." He asked the waiter to get a pot of Drunken Fairy Wine to the guests at another table, and then waved quietly to A Da and the others, asking them to go up quickly.
In the Tianzi Room, Ada talked to Shiwu: "It seems that the Qin Dynasty's form is very subtle."
Shi Wu asked carefully: "Grandpa, you probably didn't go to assassinate the emperor when you broke out of the palace."
Liu Li, who was listening next to him, didn't stand firm and almost fell down. She had thought Shi Wu was joking, saying that he was caught with them and wanted to behead him. Now, when Shi Wu asked if Ada had assassinated Emperor Shengde, how could she not be afraid? Fortunately, Shi Wu did not say that they had killed the only son of Duke Zhen of Jin, and there were many good players who had come from Jin, otherwise Liu Li would have to pick up the contract and run back to Chunhong Pavilion.
Shi Wu walked over and helped Liu Li and said, "Sister, don't be afraid. I just asked, how could my grandfather beat so many palace masters alone?"
Liu Li thought about it, no matter how powerful Ada in front of him was, he could not fight against the crowd, let alone killing the emperor.
Ada carefully recalled what happened that night, and some clips flashed through his mind, as if many people were wailing in pain in front of him. Ada shook his head, but could not find any other memories of that night.
Ada gave up and said, "I really can't remember."
Shi Wu also advised: "If you can't remember, don't think about it. But Grandpa Zeng said that the prince has been gathering his own power since he was reincarnated. Emperor Shengde will not rest for a day, and the prince's power will become stronger. I think Emperor Shengde will not have to come out and just give the crown prince an imperial edict to succeed the throne."
What Shi Wu said was exactly what the prince Jiang Xin in Xu Yan’s mansion now thought. Xu Yan never dreamed that he would be treated like this. Prince Jiang Xin personally brought his confidant officials to visit him, making his face swollen as happy as a flower.
If Prince Jiang Xin had not been to win the hearts of the people, he would not have come to visit these third-rank officials. However, Xu Yan's beating was timely, which not only spread his reputation for cherishing the officials of the court, but also took the opportunity to punish Gao Jing, who had been unwilling to defect to him. Prince Jiang Xin almost thanked those who beat Xu Yan, but he also cherished his feathers. While he cared about the minister of the Ministry of Justice, he also warned him because Xu Yan's reputation outside was too bad. He hoped that the officials under his command would at least have a good reputation in Qin. Otherwise, if he ascended the throne in the future, someone would make a fuss about his subordinates there.
When Xu Yan saw the prince hitting him in front of so many confidant officials, he immediately knelt down and said, "My... Thank you... Thank you... His Highness... Thank you for your teachings."
