After entrusting the Zhengjing Sect to Zhu Wu and appeasing Qiong Ying and Xiao Qiao, Li Yu sighed.
A paper crane flew out from his fingertips, flapped its wings high in the snowy night, circled around and came to a window.
Following the gap in the window lattice, the paper crane squeezed in and landed on the bedside.
Little Jinlian lay on her side, sleeping peacefully and breathing evenly. The paper crane landed next to her pillow, and he would give her a few words for Li Yu tomorrow, and then explain the situation of this trip.
Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't wait until the next day to say goodbye. Everything was arranged.
Lin Lingsu would take care of the Zhengjing Sect for him, which he was not worried about.
The real danger is himself. Whether it is hatred or hatred, it is tied to him. As long as Li Yu leaves the sect, everyone in the sect will be safe.
The snow was getting worse, so Li Yu returned to the small building, changed into a Taoist robe, tied up his hair with a turban, and carried a Fan Yang Li behind his back, preparing to set off on a snowy night.
Suddenly, a stone flew up from his room and circled around Li Yu.
"You want to follow me?"
Li Yu smiled and stretched out his hand, and the stone fell into his palm. Li Yu could feel the heat radiating from the stone.
"You want to go out for a walk too?"
Li Yu held the stone in his hand, and a familiar feeling came over him, but this time he didn't feel sick or feel dizzy.
If you feel it carefully, you will be aware of the never-ending greed.
Li Yu suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for each other. He stroked the greed stone and said with a smile: "I will take you to see this world of mortals, in the sky and on the earth. How about the two of us going to weigh the world's greed?"
The greedy stone emitted a burst of crimson light, flashing continuously in Li Yu's palm.
“Is greed a bad karma?”
Greed means never being satisfied, and only when you are not satisfied will you strive to pursue something.
If a person wants to make progress, he must be greedy; if a person wants to respect himself, he must be greedy.
Cut off greed, ignorance, and anger, and become a god and a Buddha?
What is cut off is not only greed, delusion, and anger, but also one’s own self. If you achieve enlightenment like this, by the time you become a god, your self will already be dead.
For Li Yu, such a god could never be achieved.
With a move of Li Yu's fingers, he summoned a force of wood spirit and wrapped it around the stone.
With a slight stroke, the stone shrank a little and turned into a wooden hairpin.
The stone becomes like ordinary jade, no longer shining brightly.
Li Yu inserted the wooden hairpin into his hair, opened the door and rose into the sky.
He came to Honglu Temple, and when he arrived, he arrested an official who was keeping watch at night, and after asking for a good place, he went directly to the Tang envoy's room.
It was late at night, there was still light in the room, and there was a scribe sitting at the table.
He had a white scarf wrapped around his forehead, holding a book in one hand and reading with gusto.
Li Yu pushed the door open and came in. The scribe put down the book and took a careful look. There was no look of panic on his face.
Around him, there was a faint clear light that could not be seen through with the naked eye.
This is what only true Confucians can have, the so-called awe-inspiring spirit.
"Are you Li Yu?"
Li Yu shook the snow off his body and asked, "Are you the Tang envoy?"
"The Sanqi Shilang of the Tang Dynasty, Ma Zhou."
Li Yu's heart moved. This Ma Zhou, if nothing unexpected happened, would become the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
The Tang Dynasty sent this person here to visit the Song Dynasty in order to avenge Guiji. It can be said that he took it very seriously.
"You came here late at night, do you mean to surrender and follow me to Chang'an?"
Li Yu chuckled, showing his small white teeth, "Shilang Ma is really witty. You said that I surrendered, but you dare to ask me what my crime is?"
"Isn't it a sin to kill someone?"
"Killing is a crime? How many people did Qin Shubao kill? How many people did Cheng Yaojin kill? How many people did Qiuji's uncle Yuchi Gong kill? If I, Li Yu, are guilty, don't they deserve death?"
Ma Zhou said with a smile: "The two armies faced each other and killed the generals in front of the battle. That is what a heroic husband did. You killed Gu Ji for no reason, how can you compare it to that?"
Li Yu looked at the scribe in front of him and asked attentively: "Do you know how Qiuji died?"
Ma Zhou pointed to the stool and said, "If you have time, why not sit down and talk slowly."
He did not shout in a hurry, Li Yu secretly praised his cleverness, and his blood flowed five steps with anger. He called people at this time, no matter how many masters there were in the Tang Dynasty mission, they could not save him.
Li Yu and Ma Zhou were sitting across from each other. At this time, the wind and snow outside the door blew out the candles on the table.
Li Yu shot a fireball from his finger and placed it on top of the candle.
He waved his hand gently, the door closed, and Ma Zhou already had a cup of hot tea.
"Daozhang Li was possessed of magical powers and was supposed to support the king and assist the country. However, the so-called dispute between Buddhism and Taoism led to evil in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Do you know that there was no enmity or entanglement of interests between the Tang and Song Dynasties? If there was a dispute between the two countries,
The war will, on the one hand, consume the country's strength, and on the other hand, it will waste the people and money. The Taoist priest seems to be a top-notch person, why don't you follow me to Chang'an, and I will protect the Taoist priest in front of my emperor."
Li Yu smiled and said, "Can you beat Yuchi Gong?"
"Although our Tang Dynasty has powerful families, the monarch is wise and I have the confidence to give it a try."
Li Yu ignored him. He might not believe what he said. The Yuchi family had been serving as generals for many generations and had a profound background and hard work. Ma Zhou was just a scholar from a poor family.
Li Yu picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said: "To be honest, I am leaving Bianliang tonight. Before I left, I planned to kill all the envoys of Tang Dynasty, but seeing that you are not a bad person, I will not commit any more crimes."
.After you go back, just tell Yuchi Gong and Li Shimin that they know what is right and what is wrong, and if they want to criticize you, they may pick the wrong person."
His words were somewhat bluffing. With the national power of the Tang Dynasty, their mission was really destroyed. This was not the way he was treated in Soochow last time.
The last Song Dynasty mission encountered ambushes twice and suffered heavy losses. The righteous envoy Lin Gong died suddenly.
That is to say, the Song Dynasty could bear it. If this matter were left to the Tang Dynasty, it would really provoke a war, a war with great disparity between the strong and the weak.
Li Yu is not alone now. There is a sect that needs his protection. Of course, he can't just do whatever he wants. He must have some scruples.
He came here to say harsh words tonight just to let Datang know that he would not let others manipulate him.
The one who stirred up trouble was Qiu Ji, the one who instigated behind the scenes was Kasyapa, the one who killed was Lin Lingsu, and the ones who protected others were Lu Dongbin and Chen Tuan.
It was Li Yu who took the blame.
Ma Zhou looked at Li Yu and said, "You want to escape?"
"Escape?" Li Yu laughed, "It seems that you Tang people don't know me very well, Li Yu. I'm going to Chang'an tonight to meet the aristocratic families and Buddhists of the Tang Dynasty and see what they can do to me."
Li Yu's whole person suddenly became extremely arrogant. He was covered in Taoist robes without any wind, and he looked like a peerless devil.
Ma Zhou sighed and said, "That's fine, but if you are caught by them, I won't be able to speak for you."
"Huh!" Li Yu said with red eyes: "If they know what's going on, it's not just because I'm in trouble, otherwise I'll make Chang'an lively."
After he finished speaking, his figure moved and disappeared.
Ma Zhou quickly chased after him and saw a white light in the sky, which was indeed the direction of Chang'an.
"This Taoist priest really doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth."
Li Yu moved some distance away, guessing that he could no longer see it, so he turned around and headed southwest.
Looking around the Six Dynasties, only Xishu and I were relatively friendly. I went to hang out with Jiang Wei for a few days, learn the formations, and flirt with the Sichuan girl from Xishu.
As for going to Chang'an to cause trouble, it's just talk. Let's put up a smoke bomb and let them work in Chang'an for a while.
