The master looked a little strange, as if he didn't expect Xiao Zhen to ask him this question: "As many as the donor wants."

Xiao Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Monks don't gossip, but it's better for you, master, to lie again and again."

The master sighed softly: "Everything happens as it happens."

This sentence really encompasses everything. I feel that no matter what I say, I can end it with this sentence. Thinking of this, Xiao Zhen smiled and didn't want to talk anymore: "Master, please tell the driver when you want to get off the car.

"After saying that, she closed her eyes and rested her mind.

"The flowers are not flowers, the mist is not mist, and the dream is not a dream. I wonder how long the donor will sleep?"

Xiao Zhen listened quietly without opening her eyes. Suddenly, what Han Ziran said to her that day flashed through her mind:

The master said that I have false appearances. False. This is a sentence in the Diamond Sutra. All appearances are false appearances and not real. Although phenomena exist, they are only illusions and illusions. They are caused by causes and conditions and have empty self-nature.

The phenomenon only occurs because of the coincidence of causes and conditions. If other causes and conditions arise, the current phenomenon will change.

It changes and forms another phenomenon, so it is called false phase.

I have made it clear that illusion is a phenomenon caused by my persistence. In fact, they do not belong to me.

She finally understood why she felt familiar when she heard the word "illusion". Xiao Zhen opened his eyes suddenly, but the master was no longer in the car.

She was surprised that she was not asleep just now, and the car did not stop. She didn't know why the master left. She was about to ask the carriage to stop, but the carriage had stopped at this time, and the coachman's voice came: "Madam, come to the village."

Son."

Xiao Zhen was even more surprised now. Didn't she just get on the carriage? It would take at least an hour for the carriage to reach the village. How could it arrive so soon? After getting off the carriage, sure enough, they were already in the village. Could it be that she had just fallen asleep?

Remembering that the master had just asked her when the donor wanted to sleep?

"Where's the master?"

"The monk has left." The coachman said with disdain: "The monk also said that his name is Fang Xuan, and he is the abbot of Chongming Temple. Bah, that master Fang Xuan is a highly respected person, how could he be like this?

He's so sloppy."

Master Fang Xuan? He was the master who told Ziran lies in the palace.

Xiao Zhen always felt that something was weird and wrong. She was a very alert person, and it was even less likely that she would fall asleep in front of strangers.

"Hello, madam."

"Hello, madam." People in the village greeted Xiao Zhen one after another when they saw her.

Xiao Zhen returned the greetings with a smile one by one. Seeing the villagers coming and going, and the shadows jumping across the roof from time to time, Xiao Zhen left Master Fang Xuan behind. The construction of the village was getting better and better. Entering the village

The people of the country have gradually stabilized. At first they would be scared when they saw the shadow guards flying around.

I'm used to it.

Xiao Zhen walked to the newly built school. The school was divided into two floors. The first floor was the school and the second floor was for children to practice martial arts. In the early morning, the children were all busy.

Xiao Zhen jumped up to the century-old tree in the courtyard of the school, looked at the children in the window, the youngest were four or five years old, and the oldest was seven or eight years old, thinking seriously, and smiled slightly.

Flying into the yard of her home, Nanny Cui and Nanny Su were playing with a small axe. When she saw her suddenly falling into the yard, she was startled. Nanny Su smiled and said: "Madam, I always feel that

Our door is just a decoration."

"How about dismantling it?" Xiao Zhen smiled heartily.

"That won't work. Madam's martial arts skills are incredible, and the slaves can only walk on two legs."

Aunt Cui asked with a smile: "Where is Xiya? Didn't you come back with your wife?"

"She stays in the house and will be the second master's personal girl in the next six months."

Aunt Cui and Aunt Su looked at each other in surprise.

Xiao Zhen took the small axe from Aunt Su's hand. The axe's complexion was getting better and better, and he had become more lively recently. Occasionally, he could still hear a few words, although it was not clear what he was saying.

After teasing the children, Xiao Zhen told the story about the Han family. The two nuns had the same reaction as Xi Ya, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

"Madam." At this time, Bei Mi's wife Pang came in from the door of the courtyard: "You are back. Sowing is about to begin in the village. I wanted to ask Madam if you want to invite the Spring God."

"Spring God?" This is the first time Xiao Zhen heard about sowing seeds and asked for the Spring God.

"The victims who came here to settle here last year said that at this time in previous years they would ask the God of Spring to bless them with good weather."

"Then do we still need to invite the gods of summer, autumn and winter?"

Pangzi held back his laughter and said, "Yes."

"What should I prepare?"

"Just some livestock will be fine. The most important thing is to ask the wizard to dance the Nuo dance to communicate with God and pray for a good harvest this year."

Xiao Zhen thought for a while: "Are there many people who want to invite the Spring God?"

"They account for half of the people in the village. Madam, how about we invite you?" Pangzi said.

Xiao Zhen nodded: "Okay, just ask them to report to the Shadow Department for specific details." The Shadow Department was established in the early days of the village's establishment. The Dark Department and the Academic Department each are responsible for different things, but they have not been used yet.

"yes."

As soon as Pang left, Grandma Su said with a smile: "I have always known about wizards, but I have never seen one. I don't know where they will invite wizards from. I would like to see them."

"Wizards are a unique tribe in the Wei Dynasty years ago." Aunt Cui said: "I have seen servants in the palace, and I have also heard from the old people in the palace that they came from the Holy Maiden Altar."

"Saint Altar? That's a strange name." Xiao Zhen said with a smile.

"I heard that two hundred years ago, before the Great Wei Dynasty was destroyed by our great ancestor, the common people respected the Holy Maiden Altar even more than the emperor did at that time."

This is surprising. There is something more respected than imperial power in this world. Xiao Zhen also heard it: "Pang's experience is not as much as the two of you. When the time comes, go and help her."

"yes."

Spring rain is always a bit sad, and this word "sorrow" is reflected in the three consecutive days of rain.

Xiao Zhen didn't have much time to worry about her, so Zhao Jie gave her a topographic map of Emperor Mountain, or should I say, it was a dark valley that was extremely secretive and difficult to be discovered.

"The daily training of ANBU is here." Zhao Jie pointed to a valley on the map and said: "We can directly enter this valley through the village's secret passage, and outside the valley are all traps. Madam, do you think it is possible?

?”

"Since you all agreed, it should be feasible." Seeing Zhang Liu, Wu Yin, and Wei Mu's faces flashing with anticipation, Xiao Zhen asked with a smile: "How are you finding your wife?"

"Madam, we are talking about business." Wu Yin'an, Madam has been asking them to find a wife at every turn recently. How can it be so easy to find a wife?

"This is also a business matter." With these brothers involved in the construction of the village, she felt relieved: "You are all the heads of the clan now, and the branches will fall on you."

Several people: ""

Bei Mi patted their shoulders with a relaxed look on his face: "Brothers, come on. You and I will have two babies every three years. I plan to let your sister-in-law have two babies at once next year."

Brothers: ""

Hearing what Bei Mi said, Xiao Zhen smiled comfortingly and thought about whether he would have to go to the capital to find the best matchmaker and go to the homes of girls of the right age to talk about matchmaking. If she didn't worry about their marriage, I'm afraid they would all be single for the rest of their lives.

.

At night, it rained harder, and the weather seemed to have returned to winter in an instant.

Xiao Zhen closed the window and saw that the light in the place where Han Ziran was reading was weak, so he added a candle.

"You go to bed first, I still have a few papers to review." Han Ziran raised his head and looked at Xiao Zhen tenderly.

"Have you been so busy with court affairs recently?"

"The civil strife of the Tuhe tribe continues, and soldiers harass our border residents from time to time. The emperor sent an old general to the border."

"My mentor is already old, why not send Situ?"

Han Ziran pondered for a moment and said: "Ouyang Dian hanged himself."

Xiao Zhen was stunned for a moment. Ouyang was definitely Situ's wife: "What about her?"

"She was rescued, but her mind was like that of a seven or eight-year-old child. The little miracle doctor said that the rope held her neck for too long, her breathing was cut off, and her head was injured. There was nothing he could do. Whether she can recover is unknown.
