It was said that everyone in the Rongguo Mansion set off to help Jia Cong return to his hometown. After boarding the ship, nothing happened. Everyone had lunch and went back to the cabin to rest. Lin Daiyu then detailed the past few days to Jia Cong.
That day, the Jia family finished Anling Dojo and wanted to leave Tiekan Temple to return to the city, but they encountered snow on the road and were unable to go back. When Jia Lian sent people to clear the snow the next day, Lin Daiyu thought of going to the back mountain to take a walk to relax.
Walking halfway up the hillside, a beautiful little fox suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It looked smart and smart. She immediately fell in love with it and knelt down to look at it. The little fox didn't ignore her either and looked at each other.
After half a day, the little fox suddenly flicked its tail and ran away. Daiyu followed it all the way. After walking for a while, she saw that the road here was rugged and it would take a long time to walk there. It was time to have lunch later, so she regretted it.
Let's go back to Tiekan Temple.
Little did she know that Uncle Yang had been following her. After all, the old man was well-informed, so he felt something was wrong as soon as he saw the fox. Anyway, with Lin Daiyu's kind of construction, people lining up in the military formation would never get lost; besides, Jarvis was also secretly following her.
He left her alone and quietly followed the fox. Sure enough, the fox met a living person not far away and crawled into his arms.
The man was a monk with good skills. He turned around with the fox in his arms and walked around into a large temple in the mountains. Uncle Yang wanted to go in and have a look, but suddenly he saw a large red plum forest behind the temple, which was very beautiful. The old man
In the early years, I walked in the green forest for many years, and I was somewhat astute. This area was originally a geomantic treasure land in the suburbs of Beijing. Many wealthy families have their temples nearby, and there are almost no plum farmers. They can take care of such a large plum forest. In this temple
The status of a monk must be unusual. I thought about it again and again, but did not go in.
Back at Tiekan Temple, Uncle Yang quietly told Lin Daiyu about the matter. Daiyu hummed, "If we let the fox come tomorrow, I'd like to see what they do."
Yang Erbo said: "Girl Lin, I think that temple is unusual. There isn't even a sign outside. Don't cause trouble, just go back."
Daiyu said: "If someone is interested in us, it won't be just because we go to Jinling. Sooner or later we will have to find an opportunity to take action. It's better to plot the plan and see what they want to do."
Erbo Yang thought for a while and said, "Well, I know that there are tigers in the mountains, so I prefer to go to the Tiger Mountains. That boy Cong'er must be unwilling to agree. If Chen Yatou knows, she won't hide it from him. She must call the boy Shi again."
Daiyu said: "It's just that he never followed me in the city."
"That's easy." Erbo Yang said with a smile, "I'll call him." Daiyu arched her eyebrows and smiled.
Uncle Yang laughed twice and went back to the city to look for Shi Li. Shi Li was also afraid of chaos in the world, so he followed immediately.
The next day, Daiyu wandered around the back mountain again and met the little fox again. This time she followed the fox until she came to the temple. The temple actually had no name, but the carving on the archway outside was "Bai Qi".
, Li Jing, Yue Fei and other famous generals' stories, I couldn't help but arouse my curiosity. I heard someone shouting "Don't run around", I turned around and saw Jarvis running up quickly, and smiled sweetly: "I guess you
Will follow."
Jarvis said: "This place is not like an ordinary temple, so don't rush in."
Daiyu said, "Since it's a temple, there's no problem in strolling around." Then she boldly walked inside. Jarvis had no choice but to follow her.
The two of them entered the mountain gate and went straight to the Heavenly King's Hall, but they did not see a single monk. Then they entered the Main Hall, and finally there was an old monk wearing old monk's clothes. The two of them hurriedly stepped forward and clasped their hands and said, "The two of us passed by the Treasure Temple and saw a plum blossom forest in the back.
It’s so beautiful that I couldn’t help but rush in and disturb it.”
The old monk praised the Buddha and said: "My Buddha is compassionate and opens the door to convenience. Since the two donors are here, it is destined."
Daiyu asked: "What kind of temple is this? Why didn't I see the nameplate?"
The old monk said: "This is just a temple, why does it need a nameplate?"
Daiyu clasped her hands together and said, "What the master said is that this junior is in trouble."
The two of them then walked around the temple. The pillars and tiles of this temple were very simple, but extremely unsophisticated. Everything was made of the best materials. They were all logs without paint and were polished until they were shiny. The wood in the house was all made of
The furniture in the house is made of nanmu and camphor wood, and it is spotlessly clean. Daiyu whispered: "Where are the people in this temple? It takes a lot of people just to clean it so clean."
Turning around the Jialan Palace, a person suddenly appeared in front of them and saw them beating Qian'er. The two of them took a look and saw that this person was wearing the clothes of the Yellow Gate in the palace. He was an old eunuch. They hurriedly returned the gift. The old eunuch cleared his throat.
Said: "The miscellaneous family Dai Quan."
Jarvis hurriedly said: "It turns out to be Eunuch Dai. I heard that Eunuch Dai is now with the Queen Mother. How is she doing?"
Dai Quan's eyes turned red: "It's hard to believe that there are still people who care about the Empress Dowager. The Za family still thinks that everyone in the world only wants her to die." Without waiting for Jarvis to say a few more polite words, he suddenly looked at Lin Daiyu and said with a smile, "This
I think she is the lady from Lin Shangshu’s family.”
Lin Daiyu's brows jumped: "That's my little girl."
Dai Quan lowered his head and said: "The Za family came to this temple to worship Venerable Manjusri on the orders of the Empress Dowager." He glanced at Lin Daiyu and said, "The late emperor in front was in danger while marching, and it was Venerable Manjusri who pointed it out for him in his dream.
A way out."
Daiyu said: "Is he the father of the late emperor and the grandfather of King Yan and others?"
"Exactly." After Dai Quan finished speaking, he bowed again and turned around to leave without waiting for the two of them to speak.
Seeing that he had disappeared, Jarvis thought: "This man is a confidant of the Supreme Emperor. He came so unexpectedly. And he obviously doesn't recognize me, but he recognizes you."
Daiyu said: "Because I am a woman, it is easier to recognize." She glanced at where he was and said, "Remember what he said, as if he said it to me specifically." Jarvis nodded.
The two of them walked back again and exited the Medicine Master's Hall. The fragrance was blowing on their faces, and they saw a large area of white snow and red plum trees. It was as beautiful as a fairyland outside the world. They couldn't help but walk over hand in hand.
But they saw a white-bearded monk sitting on a big rock outside the Merlin. He was fat and white, very old but couldn't tell how old he was. He was spinning two walnuts in his hand and looked at him. The two of them laughed.
Embarrassed, he quickly let go. The monk first looked at Lin Daiyu, then at Jarvis, and asked: "Two children, do you know what this temple is called?"
Lin Daiyu saw that this monk was good, and her mind was spinning rapidly. She thought that Dai Quante must have been alert when he came here. What did he say just now? She thought about it carefully from the beginning, and couldn't help blurting out: "Could it be that this temple
The name is 'a temple'?"
The walnut in the white-bearded monk's hand clicked: "Good girl! Can you guess this?"
Daiyu said: "When I was a child, I heard a comment that someone opened an inn and named it 'Youjian Inn'."
The monk touched his palm and said, "There are such people in the world, but it's a pity that the old monk doesn't recognize them."
Daiyu said: "The beams, pillars, tables and tables in this temple are all simple but not vulgar, straight but not clumsy, and the name must also be very simple."
The monk nodded slowly, then looked at Lin Daiyu, with some meaning in his eyes: "What a clever little girl, it's a good thing you are a girl." Then he stood up, "The poor monk has a house in the plum forest, do you want to come and visit?
"
Daiyu asked: "Master, will you invite me to go?"
The monk said: "I heard that you, little girl, like to lead troops in war?"
"Um."
"The poor monk has some military books, do you want to come and take a look?"
Daiyu's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Master!"
The monk turned to look at Jarvis: "You don't have to go."
Jarvis said: "The last general will follow the military advisor and never leave."
The monk looked at Lin Daiyu and said, "You little lover, don't you trust me?"
Daiyu is just a weak woman, even a fool would not dare to go with him alone! She quickly said: "Master, I have misunderstood. He is here to protect me; if he leaves me, he will be derelict in his duty. This man has a loyal character."
, I absolutely refuse. If it’s inconvenient, I’m afraid that the military book will have no connection with the little girl, so just don’t read it.”
The monk looked at the two of them for another half day and said, "He can follow you, but he is not allowed to enter the house."
Jarvis added: "The last general will never leave his military advisor."
The monk snorted, turned around and walked into the Merlin. After walking for more than ten steps, he shouted: "Why don't you follow me?"
Daiyu wanted to follow, but Jarvis grabbed her arm and shook his head. Daiyu blinked, turned over and took his hand, and dragged her into Merlin after the monk.
That's all. After walking about two hundred steps, the differences in this plum forest gradually became apparent. Daiyu said softly: "I'm afraid this place is the same as Huang Yaoshi's Peach Blossom Island."
The monk in front asked: "Who is Huang Yaoshi?"
Daiyu said: "He was a rare genius in the Song Dynasty. He knew everything about astronomy, geography, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and he was very skilled in martial arts."
The monk turned his head and looked at her for a moment, wondering: "How could Lin Hai raise a daughter like you?"
Lin Daiyu smiled sweetly: "I've already raised him, what else can he do?"
The monk hummed: "It's a shame that the second prince didn't marry you back then."
Daiyu's face darkened: "I won't marry into the Heavenly Family either."
"The Tian family will not want a wife like you." The monk picked up his feet and walked away. After hearing this, the two of them felt relieved.
After walking in a winding way for half an hour, they saw a house with about a dozen rooms, each of which was much larger than an ordinary house. The two of them went in and took a look, and saw a large map of the country's territory hanging in the main hall.
, there are many maps around, from the vassal states, from the West, and from Japan; there are dozens of large and small sand tables and many unrecognizable objects placed randomly everywhere.
The monk said: "Your grandfather Jia Daishan was the senior brother of the poor monk."
Daiyu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly bowed down and said, "I have met my great uncle."
The monk nodded and said: "The poor monk has also wanted to find a successor these years, but he is not very satisfied. In the early years, when the late emperor was here, he also mentioned that he would bring Jia Cong to show the poor monk. The poor monk only listened.
He gave up the idea after a few things." He shook his head and said, "That kid is nothing like his grandfather."
Daiyu asked: "How does it look?"
"I don't know, the poor monk hasn't left the temple for many years. I heard that Jia Baoyu really looks like him." The monk said, "It's just in appearance. Your grandfather is bold and careful, and one of his two sons is bold and cautious.
The other one is cowardly and cowardly. Not to mention the grandson, none of them are suitable for martial arts. The only one who is smart is Jia Cong, but he is too courageous and is not suitable for leading an army. Besides, this boy is not suitable for military leadership.
No loss. If I have to cut off my tail to survive, I'm afraid I will be reluctant to do so, delaying the chance of victory." Nai paused for a moment and said, "I never thought that a girl like you would be here." He looked up at the big map.
, "The poor monk has heard of your plan to block Zheng Chaoer in a valley in Fujian. It's not bad."
Daiyu glanced at him with her eyes wide open, and asked softly: "Master, uncle, are you willing to teach me?"
The monk chuckled and said, "It's strange. All the direct descendants of Senior Brother Jia's family have become literati, but his granddaughter can lead an army."
Daiyu's brows suddenly became happy! Jarvis coughed and said, "I'm afraid we have to discuss this with Mr. Lin."
The monk said: "At this point, Lin Hai can't control it anymore."
Daiyu thought for a while and said: "Of course I am willing to learn the art of war from my uncle. But now my grandma is about to wake up, and she is hurting me, so I want to go first..."
The monk said: "You don't have to go and deliver the coffin to Senior Brother Jia's wife."
Daiyu said: "I have to send my grandmother to Jinling first."
The monk turned around and said with a smile: "Little girl, do you know where this is?"
Daiyu shook her head.
"This is a temple with a slope of plum trees." The monk said, "You won't be able to get out until you have learned enough skills." Before he finished speaking, a walnut suddenly flew out of his hand. It didn't seem to fly slowly, but it circled around.
The circle hit Jarvis in the head. Jarvis clearly saw it and tried to avoid it, but couldn't. He fell to the ground with a "thud" and fainted.
Daiyu was shocked and hurriedly knelt down to shake him and shouted: "What are you doing, uncle?"
The monk said sternly: "The most taboo thing for a woman to be a military leader is to be passionate. This guy can't be kept."
Daiyu said anxiously: "I won't agree! If my uncle says that, I won't learn from it."
The monk said leisurely: "If the poor monk wants you to learn, you have to learn."
Lin Daiyu had a few words on her lips, but she swallowed them suddenly. This monk was very skilled in martial arts, and Mei Lin had obviously arranged the formation. I'm afraid Yang Erbo and Shi Li were still wandering around outside at the moment. This kind of highly skilled monk has a weird temperament.
She had heard a lot about Jia Cong's Green Forest Commentary in her early years. If she went against him, it would anger him, and it would not be impossible for him to kill Jarvis if he didn't like him. Since he took a fancy to herself, he must have
He wouldn't do anything to himself, so he closed his eyes and said, "Please, uncle, ancestor, let him out."
The monk hummed: "This kid is an idiot. If the poor monk lets him out, what if he waits for you for ten years?"
When Lin Daiyu heard this, she was determined to keep her. She looked around the room, secretly counting how many years it had been, and asked after a while: "Did my grandfather study here?"
"good."
Daiyu murmured to herself: "Although this house is not an antique, it is still a souvenir."
The white-bearded monk finally showed some confusion in his eyes. Daiyu felt relieved and said: "I will not accept it if my uncle is forcing me to stay based on his martial arts. You, Merlin, have formations, and I have also learned them. Not as good as my master."
My uncle made a bet with me. Give me a month. If I can get out, let me go to deliver my grandmother's funeral. Then I'll ask my father what he wants. If I can't get out, my uncle will win. Then I will
I became a nun and ended the mortal world."
The monk praised: "What a courage!" He said calmly, "What's one month? I will give you three months. If you don't go out after three months, you should become a monk honestly and learn from me."
Lin Daiyu smiled slightly: "Thank you, Master, uncle, monks don't tell lies." She thought to herself, according to Jia Cong's temperament, even if he blows up this Merlin with a gun, he will not be trapped here. After three months of rambling, a person
