Chapter nine hundred and forty seventh in my heart
The cold night is a breeze, and it should have felt bitter, but the fireworks in Chang'an are everywhere, which makes Xiao Zhang suddenly feel a sense of happiness. If you think about it carefully, it may have nothing to do with the fireworks. It's just that there are people around you when you need someone the most, so this person is still cold, so you should be satisfied.
"When I was a child, I liked to watch fireworks. Master said that I cannot set it on the mountain. If the fire is ignited, it will be out of control and human resources cannot be saved."
Xiao Zhang looked at the dazzling light in the night sky in the distance, his eyes were a little confused.
"I asked the master, when will the master go down the mountain to take me to see the fireworks? Master asked me, when do you want? I replied that when Master is free, Master laughed and told me, you can give me whatever you want, within the ability of Master, and you can't set fireworks on the mountain. So Master took me and my senior brothers to the town at the foot of the mountain, bought all the fireworks in the fireworks shop, and set them on the open space outside the town for two hours."
She glanced coldly: "Day."
Xiao Zhang took a deep breath, his eyes not leaving the flowers blooming in the night sky in the distance.
"Someone joked about us, saying that there is anything to see when setting fireworks during the day, and that it was a waste of things. They also said that the people in your Taoist temple were stupid to practice Taoism, and they didn't know that fireworks should be beautiful when they were set off at night?"
She looked at the fireworks, as if she was talking to Chen Leng, and as if she was talking to herself.
"The master answered four words."
She smiled and said, "It's all your business."
"I just pulled the Master's sleeve and said, "Otherwise we should not let go, and we will be laughed at. Master said, "What do you care about others' opinions? If a person cares about what others think about himself at all times and everything, how tired would it be?"
She seemed to be trapped in memories.
"Master said, if you care about the person you care about, give him what you can, don't wait. Many times we will lose because of waiting, and then regret it. What's the point of regret? At that time, I didn't understand what the master said, and later I realized that Master didn't want me to feel that I was more pitiful than others without a father or mother, but I really didn't feel pitiful. Master loved me and my senior brother loved me."
"For me, my junior brother doesn't know how many times he fought with the children of the mountain people. Those children always bullied me when they saw me being thin. In order to train me, my master always asked me to go out to chop wood alone. He was stopped by the children of the mountain people several times. The younger brother was only two years older than me. After knowing it, he followed me out every time, but he was stopped by the children of the mountain people. He went up and fought with others. Of course he couldn't beat him one of them, but he was unwilling to admit defeat and was full of flowers on his face."
"The next day I went out to chop wood again. The young senior brother, whose face was swollen, followed. The children of the mountain people asked more people to intercept us halfway. The young senior brother rolled up his sleeves and continued to beat him. He was beaten even worse, but he still refused to admit defeat."
Chen Leng asked: "What about your junior brother?"
"Senior Brother..."
Xiao Zhang's eyes were a little wet: "I died of illness. My master took him to seek medical treatment and medicine everywhere, but it was not cured."
She lowered her head.
Chen Leng's heart tightened.
"On the day of the funeral of the younger brother, all the children who had fought with him came. The older child who had fought with him the most often held a candy in his hand and said, "Little Taoist, get up quickly, beat me, I will give you the candy. This candy was given to me when my mother died. "I ate this candy when I missed my mother, and I won't think about it anymore. I give you the candy, and you will be fine after eating it... So many people, all crying, crying and saying, "Little Taoist, you ate it."
Get up quickly, at worst, you can just call you back."
Xiao Zhang lowered his head and spoke, tears fell to the ground.
"I have been spoiled by them since I was a child and I cannot let me suffer any grievances. When I was fourteen years old, someone asked to go to Longhu Mountain and said that there were evil spirits at home. The master said that there were evil spirits everywhere, he scared me. He asked me to take the hexagram mirror of Longhu Mountain to pretend to walk around. That was my first time going down the mountain. I wanted to ask my senior brothers to follow me, but my master just didn't know, so I went down the mountain alone, and halfway through, I was stopped by the children of the mountain people, and there were dozens of people."
"They asked, little Taoist priest, what are you going to do? When I said I would do rituals, they would laugh at me and say, "You are so thin and small, you must be eaten by monsters and monsters. Besides, it will take twenty miles to get to the place. Can you leave? I said I can of course leave, but they said they didn't believe it. Each of them held a wooden stick in their hands. I was so scared that I wanted to escape. The eldest child waved his hand... and sent him!"
Xiao Zhang looked at Chen coldly: "He said, your senior brother is my friend. He is dead. We will protect you from now on. Our children in the mountains can bully you. People outside the mountains cannot do it. No one can bully you. Everyone walked around me with a wooden stick, saying that if there are evil dogs blocking the road, don't be afraid, their stick can protect me. In fact, that day... Master and Senior Brother have been following me secretly."
Chen Leng raised his hand and patted Xiao Zhang's shoulder: "You are as kind as them."
Xiao Zhang looked at Chen Leng, raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes: "When I left Longhu Mountain, my senior brother said, if Chang'an City is not good, come back, we will clean your room every day. If you don't want to come back, I feel wronged. Write me a letter. The people on Longhu Mountain will not really be in the clouds, but we must travel day and night."
Xiao Zhang took a deep breath: "But I am a real person. The reputation of Longhu Mountain is carried on my shoulders. I know how irrational it is to pursue those Qiang people. I can't fight. The master taught me with a sword for a long time. I think I can do it, but every time I see blood, I'll be afraid, and my hands holding the sword will tremble... I think, I will probably never have the courage to go out with my sword in my life until I see Senior Brother Qingguo lying there, lying coldly there."
She took off the sword she carried on her back and handed it to Chen Leng: "This is the Dao Sword of Longhu Mountain. The disciples of the Dao Sect see the Dao Sword as if they see the master. They are the orders of those who hold the Dao Sword. Those fake Taoist in the Tianmen Temple killed Senior Brother Qingguo. This hatred is the Dao Sect's hatred. If I hold the Dao Sword, the Dao Sect disciples will be my helper."
Chen Leng took the Dao Sword, which was very heavy.
"Master said that in fact, a sword does not mean anything. Why are Taoist disciples willing to obey the orders of those who hold the Taoist sword? That's because Taoist swords represent justice, unity, and dignity that cannot be bullied. Master also said that Taoist disciples are probably the lazy and most demanding group of practitioners in the world. On weekdays, you see that they are too lazy to go out or even too lazy to preach, but in the past, the disciples of Taoist disciples never retreated."
She looked at Chen Leng: "Do you know the origin of the Dao Sword?"
Chen Leng shook his head.
Zhenren Xiao Zhang said: "The Taoist sword is not actually the place from Longhu Mountain, but there is a very small Taoist temple in the south of Hanhai City in the northern border. It is called Fengqingguan. That year, the Heiwu rushed south and the Chu border army fought back. The Black Martial Cavalry burned and killed and looted the Chu border. The Taoists in Fengqingguan went down the mountain, leaving only a six or seven-year-old Taoist boy. His master said, "We are going down the mountain to kill thieves and save people. You should guard the Taoist temple yourself. The master will leave the sword for you. You will not be afraid of holding the master's sword in your arms."
"At that time, Chu was already divided and the Central Plains was in chaos.
,Daning rose, the Chu border army did not retreat, defended the border to death, Ning lost the country but did not lose the border. The 60,000 Chu border troops on the front line of Hanhai City fought with 400,000 black martial troops. They knew that there was no support, but none of them retreated. The Taoists in Fengqingguan took their swords down the mountain and killed the enemy with Hanhai City and the Chu border troops. All the Taoists died in battle."
"At that time, the first generation of Longhushan Zhenren followed His Majesty the founding emperor of Daning to fight. He heard that the black warriors in the northern border invaded the south, and His Majesty Taizu of Daning was leading his army to besiege Chu Shuiancheng. After hearing the news, the army immediately stopped siege. His Majesty Taizu personally led 30,000 elite cavalry to rush to Hanhai City to support the Chu border army for three days and three nights."
Xiao Zhang's eyes were red.
"At that time, the Chu army should have been very desperate and helpless. The land of Chu was divided into pieces and the princes were fighting everywhere, but when they retreated, the black warriors could march straight into. The gate of Hanhai City was broken, and the black warriors attacked in large numbers. At this time, His Majesty Taizu led his army to arrive. Although the 30,000 elite cavalry were exhausted, they were unstoppable. His Majesty Taizu charged forward with a body of ten thousand gold and cut off the black warriors in half with one blow. The Daning battle flag was flying under the city, and the Chu battle flag was flying on the city."
Shen Leng knew about this history. When Xiao Zhang mentioned it, Shen Leng couldn't help but clenched his fists.
"In that battle, the Chu army and the Ning army worked together to repel the black warriors. After the war, the general of the Chu border army and His Majesty Taizu of Daning drank at the top of Hanhai City. His Majesty Taizu drank a pot of wine in one breath, smashed the wine pot, and said to the general of the Chu border army... Seeing him on the battlefield, then Emperor Taizu turned around and left, and walked more than a dozen steps. The general of the Chu border army shouted, "I don't want to meet you on the battlefield. I surrender. If you change your Ning flag, your brothers' lives are precious, keep it, keep it and continue with the black warriors."
"After hearing this, Emperor Taizu turned around and looked at the general of the Chu border army and said, "If you surrender, you will be scolded. The general said, "What's the point of being criticized by me? It's enough if there is a river or mountains in the Central Plains that are thousands of miles away."
"So, the Ning flag was replaced on Hanhai City... Later, Emperor Taizu left tens of thousands of troops to the general of the Chu border army to continue to resist the black warriors. On the way south, he passed by Fengqing Temple. The first generation of real people came in to see the entire Taoist temple. The entire Taoist temple was empty, and only the six or seven-year-old Taoist boy was sitting on the steps alone. He was so scared that he saw someone coming, but he was holding his master's sword in his arms."
"The first generation of real people asked, where are your masters and senior brothers? The little Taoist said, going down the mountain to kill the thieves. The first generation of real people felt sorry for him because he knew that all the Taoists in Hanhai City had died in battle. He went over and picked up the little Taoist and said, "You are not coming back, please ask me to take care of you. Are you willing to go with me?" The little Taoist shook his head and said, "You lied to someone, the master will definitely come back. When the first generation of real people saw that the sword was heavy, they wanted to help him get it. The little Taoist just refused to let go, saying that it was the master's sword, and the master said that the sword would protect him."
Xiao Zhang raised his hand and wiped his tears: "Later, the first generation of real people took the little Taoist away, and kept fighting with His Majesty Taizu, and established a country in Daning. He was granted the title of the National Master of Daning. The first generation of real people took the little Taoist back to Longhu Mountain. The sword was named Dao Sword by Emperor Taizu of Daning."
She took the sword back from Shen Leng's hand and tied it back to herself.
"The Dao Sword is here, the Dao Sect is here, the Dao Sword is not here, the Dao Sect is still there."
She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "Dao disciples have never forgotten what Tao is, so I have never been afraid of those Taoists who only have the heart of killing in the Tianmen Temple. They are not scared, there are thousands of Taoist disciples around me."
"Master said that Longhu Mountain has never been a Taoist orthodox orthodox, and Taoist orthodox is in everyone's heart."
