"Master is such an interesting person." The young man named Yeluqi picked up the teacup on the table, put it to his mouth and blew lightly.

"Your Highness, this..." Before he could drink it, Jamukha, who was standing behind him, shouted anxiously, wondering if this tea could be drunk casually? What if it was poisonous?

Li Ye looked at Jamukha, shook his head, drank the hot tea in the cup in one gulp, and then said to himself: "It's such a waste to drink like this."

Yeluyan, who was sitting next to Yelu, covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

He turned to look at Jamukha and said with a smile: "General, please sit down and drink together. Master Li is not going to poison the tea, do you think so?" After speaking, he looked at Li Ye seriously and asked.

Li Ye looked at her, thought for a while and replied: "Tea is like life. If you get too involved in teasing, it can also be poisonous."

When Yeluqi, who was putting it to his mouth to taste, heard this, he couldn't help looking at Li Ye and asked, "Master Li, what do you mean by this?"

Li Ye smiled faintly, looked at him and said, "I have never become a monk. Your Highness can just call me Li Ye. I am only fifteen years old this year. According to my age, I should call you big brother."

Yeluqi nodded and said, "You have never become a monk, but you practice in Prajna Temple. You can be called a master."

Yeluyan pulled Jamuhe to sit down, looked at Li Ye with a pair of wonderful eyes and asked: "Master, you are as old as me, how could this tea be poisonous? Why did I have a sweet aftertaste after taking a sip?"

Li Ye looked at her and explained calmly: "Many people don't know the three flavors in tea. For example, if you drank the tea I brewed today and tasted the sweet aftertaste, you will remember this feeling."

Yeluqi looked at him and nodded, agreeing with Li Ye's statement.

"After a while, you drink tea made by others and taste other flavors, and you will unconsciously compare them. Later... After drinking three different teas, you will feel

Don’t you subconsciously think that a certain tea is your favorite?”

Li Ye looked at the three people in front of him and said with a smile.

"Then what if you can't drink it in the future? Will you find a way to get the tea leaves and brewing method of this tea? What will happen if you can't get it..."

Hearing Li Ye's explanation, the three people sitting there couldn't help but lower their heads in thought.

"This is explained in Buddhism as the eight sufferings of life: not wanting, resentment and hatred, love and separation, not wanting, then not getting, and then not being able to let go. This is the Zen saying that tea is like life."

When Li Ye said this, he did not look at the three of them. Instead, he raised his head and through the gap in the wooden shed, he saw the fluttering military flag on the flagpole at the head of Xichun City.

"Unable to seek, resentment and hatred will come, love will leave... Master Li said it well and explained it well. I admire it very much. I drank a lot of tea, but I never thought about the truth. Today I listened to the master

After saying these words, I felt a sudden enlightenment."

Yeluqi gently put down the tea cup, clapped his hands in admiration.

Yeluyan also opened her wonderful eyes, looking at the young monk from the Five Realms in front of her, secretly surprised.

These principles were principles that her father and teacher had never taught her. If she thought about it carefully, she realized that tea is like life, a truth that cannot be obtained.

Only Jamuka didn't think about it carefully. From his point of view, as long as His Highness was protected from anything, it was the best idea.

Li Ye picked up the teapot and poured hot tea for the three of them, then turned back and pointed at the military flag on the tower.

He asked calmly: "Your Highness, why do you see the military flag on the tower moving?"

Hearing this, Yeluqi and the other three turned their heads and looked back together.

"Is the wind moving?" Yeluyan blurted out after thinking about it.

"It's the military flag that's moving!" Jamukha frowned and replied loudly.

"No! It's both the wind and the military flag that's moving!" Yeluqi thought for a moment before answering. He expected that Li Ye's question was not that simple.

Li Ye looked at the different expressions of the three people, was silent for a moment, sighed softly and said: "It's not the wind that's moving, nor the military flags that are moving, it's your hearts that are moving."

"Heartbeating?" the three of them asked in unison.

"How can we explain this?" Even Yeluqi, who is known as the number one man in the grassland, couldn't help but frown.

"It's obviously the wind that's blowing the flags!" Yeluyan shouted unwillingly.

Li Ye looked at the three of them, shook his head, and smiled lightly.

"There is a saying in Buddhism: All laws are based on the mind, and everything is created by the mind. Mountains, rivers, land, space, and the universe are nothing but images of the true nature of the heart. Winds and flags are also images of the heart. Therefore, the movement and stillness of the wind and flags are all the random movements of the heart."

Looking at the puzzled expressions of the three people, he continued: "For example, are there ordinary people in the grassland tribes? Are there ordinary people in the five-region imperial city?"

"Is this war what the people of the grassland tribes want, or is it what King Yelu Khan wants? Or is it what some Khans of the grassland tribes want?"

"Buddha said that the most difficult thing is to think about something. When ordinary people are concerned about something, and when they have thoughts, they want to seek a result."

"But I don't know that for the sake of one person's thoughts, countless sentient beings have committed karma and killing karma, and how many families have been displaced because of this. And one day, the crime committed is so heavy that it will cause anger and resentment, and there will be no good ending."

Li Ye finished speaking softly and sighed again.

After hearing what Li Ye said, Jamuka was so angry that he slammed the table and shouted: "According to the master, it was our Khan who was wrong?"

Yeluqi looked at him displeased, frowned and said, "What are you yelling about? Let Master finish what he said."

Yeluyan glanced at Jamuhe and said nothing. Instead, she turned her head and continued to look at Li Ye, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Li Ye looked at Jamuka's angry look, shook his head, and reached out to add two pieces of charcoal to the stove.

He said calmly: "The so-called judgments of right and wrong, good and evil, etc. in the world do not have absolute standards. They vary or even vary greatly depending on the time and place and the differences in subjective ideas. Everything is caused by causes and conditions.

There is no right or wrong in this world, only whether you like it or not!"

"Before your Khan is willing to launch this war, he will not ask all the people if they are willing, nor will he ask the people of southern Xinjiang if the soldiers are willing..."

"Today, because of some people's thoughts, they raised the butcher knife to innocent people. It seems that they attacked the city and killed countless enemies along the way. But have you ever thought about it, if one day the army of the Five Regions Dynasty

When they came back from the counterattack, they attacked the territories of the grassland tribes, so that the grassland people were displaced and the people were in dire straits."

"At that time, who will be responsible for this cause and effect? ​​You must know that whether it is the soldiers of the grassland tribes or the soldiers of the Five Regions Dynasty, they are all common people and all living beings after taking off their shirts!"

"To take a step back, even if the grassland tribes attack Nanyun City after the spring of next year and start killing again, it will inevitably trigger a greater resistance from the Five Regions dynasty. You must know where to place the size of the Five Regions, even the population.

It’s not something other grassland tribes can compare with.”

"Even if the soldiers and horses of the grassland tribes occupy half of the Nanxuan Territory, if the soldiers and horses of the five regions merge and the army moves south, can the grassland tribes resist it?"

After taking a sip of tea, Li Ye continued without stopping: "It should be noted that in addition to the dynasties, there are also unborn practicing sects in the five regions. When the world is peaceful, the sects only recruit disciples and will not interfere with the secular affairs of the dynasties in the world.

"

"But if war breaks out all over the land and the people are in dire straits, even the practicing sects will sacrifice their own survival and join the world. At what point will that happen, how will the practitioners of the grassland tribes face it?"

"Don't tell me that there are more practitioners from the grassland tribes than from the Five Domains Sects!"

Li Ye couldn't help but sigh deeply as he thought about the war he was about to face.

Yelu Qi looked at Li Ye sighing and couldn't help but sigh too.

He said softly: "My father did not agree with this war, but other khan kings from all the grassland tribes want to fight... The arrow has already left the string, and it is not easy to take it back."

Yeluyan also nodded and said: "We have occupied three towns. How is it possible that you want us to withdraw?"

"So, I wanted to come to discuss a business deal with King Yelu Khan, but unfortunately he is not here. It seems that this war is inevitable."

Li Ye shook his head and said with infinite regret.

"Master is afraid that we can't defeat our original tribes, so you want to surrender, right?" Jamukha laughed.

Li Ye looked at him quietly and said softly: "General, do you want to give it a try?"

Zhamu was stunned, looking at Li Ye and grinning, showing a feeling of contempt without caring. "Master, do you want to fight with me? Can you take a look at your weapons?"

Yeluqi did not stop Jamukha this time. He also wanted to see Li Ye's strength and reaction.

Yeluyan's eyes widened even further, she looked at Li Ye and said with a smile: "Master, this guy deserves a beating. Give him a good beating for me. I guarantee that no one will dare to bully you!"

After speaking, he patted his chest and said that he would protect Li Ye.

Li Ye was not angry, he just lowered his eyes and looked at the tea cup on the table.

He said quietly: "My weapons are not for fighting, they are for killing. Everyone who has seen them has died. General, are you sure you want to see them?"

After saying these words, he released the eighth-level mental technique of "Shadowless Dharma Body", and instantly a cold air rose in the wooden shed, which was colder than the wind and snow in the sky.

Jamuhe was startled, seeing that the ordinary-looking little monk in front of him suddenly changed his appearance.

A murderous aura rushed toward him, and he couldn't help but froze.

Neither Yeluqi nor Yeluyan expected Li Yehui's reaction, and they were stunned when they would kill him at the slightest disagreement.

Yeluyan even covered her mouth and murmured after a long time: "Master, you are so scary!"

Li Ye looked at the beautiful and childish face opposite and smiled lightly.

Said: "My life is very hard. Many people who want me dead have grass on their graves that has grown much taller than me."

"Master is really good at joking!" Yeluqi avoided the topic. He didn't want to watch Jamuka and the young man in front of him face each other.

After all, Li Ye has given him a good impression so far, and he is a friend with whom he can chat.

Li Ye also knew that this was a fruitless conversation and did not want to drag it out.

Looking at Yelu Qi, he said in a concentrated voice: "I can negotiate with the grassland tribes on behalf of the Five Regions Imperial City, but the premise is that the tribes withdraw from the three towns. This is our bottom line and cannot be questioned. As long as this bottom line is not crossed, other conditions can be negotiated.

.”

Yeluqi nodded and smiled: "When my father comes back, I will tell him. Master, I hope we can meet on the battlefield one day, and I hope you will show mercy!"

Jamukha stared at Yeluqi with wide eyes. He did not believe that his Highness would say these words.

You must know how proud Yelu Qi is in the grassland tribes. He ignores everyone except Yelu Chucai.

Yeluyan also looked at Li Ye and laughed, clapped her little hands and said, "Master, if we meet one day, don't take me to practice in Prajna Temple, I don't want to become a monk!"

Li looked at the expressions of the three people and laughed helplessly.

While putting out the charcoal fire in the red clay stove, he replied: "On the battlefield, swords and arrows have no eyes, everything can only depend on God's will."

After saying that, he picked up the cup in front of him, raised his head and drank all the tea in it.

"Well said, now that we are on the battlefield, everyone should be at peace with their destiny. If you are afraid of death, don't go out and mess around! It is a great pleasure to meet the master today. I will replace the wine with tea and wish you a safe journey.

!”

After saying these words, Yeluqi raised his head and drank all the tea in the cup.

"Master, come to Yelu Palace in the grassland when you have time. My little sister will take you around." Yeluyan also drank up the tea in the cup.

"Master and I don't know each other until we get to know each other. I hope you'll forgive me!" Jamukha drank all the tea and saluted Li Ye with cupped fists.

While Li Ye quietly put away the tea sets on the table, he looked at Yeluqi and said, "I hope we can shake hands and make peace one day!"

After finishing cleaning up, Li Ye put on his cloak and bamboo hat, walked outside the wooden shed, and said goodbye to the three of them with a deep bow: "The mountains are high and the water is far, we will meet again if we are destined."

Yeluqi returned the greeting, waved and said, "Well done, Master!"

Yeluyan waved to him and said, "Master, come and play when you have time!"

Li Ye smiled, waved his hand, turned around and walked into the boundless wind and snow.

In just a moment, Li Ye's back disappeared outside Xichun City.

Jamukha looked at Yeluqi and asked, "Your Highness, what do you think of this monk?"

Yeluqi looked at him and replied quietly: "Courtesy first, then attack, the war is approaching!"

Yeluyan, who was standing next to him, frowned and said to herself, "Is there really going to be a war?"
Chapter completed!
