Today is the day of Zhou Fei and Wang Huan's decisive battle.
It just so happened that this morning, the snow stopped and the sun came out.
People in Chang'an, who had been bored at home for several days, took to the streets one after another to enjoy the rare winter sun.
Although it is now spring.
Of course, while enjoying the warm sunshine, there are more tragic crying sounds on the street.
Less snowfall is a landscape, and more snowfall is a disaster.
Many poultry and livestock kept in captivity by farmers have been frozen to death, and the grain seeds that have just been planted in the ground have also been frozen to death. For farmers, this is even more terrifying than stepping on the sky.
Perhaps only children can't feel this kind of sadness. They are laughing and playing in the snow, playing snowball fights with each other, and when they are tired, they go home and yell that they are hungry and want to eat.
But many people have nothing to eat at home.
What's more terrifying is that even if you have money, you can't buy food.
The granary in Chang'an is already empty.
The common people are in panic all day long. If there is no more food, Chang'an is afraid that there will be a situation where there will be a change of children and food.
At noon, the Royal Granary opens.
Sell grain to the people at a price that is more than double the market price.
But even so, it won't last a few days.
After all these years, the emperor's family has no surplus.
It was under such circumstances that Meng Zhulu took his Meng family army to Yuncheng. It can be said that the hope of the people in Ancheng was placed on the whole length. If they did not bring back food, the consequences would be disastrous.
Li Hong did a disguise, left the palace, and came to the streets of Chang'an City.
Looking at the yellow-faced and thin-faced people, and the powerful and tycoons who were still extravagant and wasteful in the face of the national disaster, Li Hong felt a strong killing intent in his heart.
"What's the matter with the natural residence! Why the people in the city can't afford to eat, and he can still take out so much food for others to squander!" After coming out of the natural residence, Li Hong was furious, without the emperor's majesty on him. It's like a street rough guy who is spoiling.
The officials accompanying by the side shivered and dared not speak loudly.
"You are all regulars of Tianju. Tell me, what's going on with this shop? Who is supporting him behind his back." Li Hong's eyes swept across the faces of these officials: "Don't think you were just now. Desperately cover
I didn't notice that many of the foods that Natural Juice bought were official food, which was used to save lives for the common people! How did it fall into the hands of the owner of Tianju? Give me an explanation! "
"Your Majesty." Seeing the situation, the personal eunuch was a little dignified, and bit his head and said: "The contest between the son of General Zhou and Wanghuan is about to begin. Let's go first. The natural residence will be investigated by the Zuoxiang. , I believe Master Zuo will give His Majesty a satisfactory answer."
Li Wuji immediately took over the conversation and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will make every effort to investigate this matter and will never let those who wantonly embezzle state property go unpunished."
Li Hong glanced at Li Wuji meaningfully, "Okay, I believe Zuo Xiang will give me a satisfactory answer. The last thing I want to see is that Chang'an City is hungry and die. Love Qing, Datang has come to life and death. At this important juncture, I hope that at this important moment, Aiqing can let go of some past grievances and work with me to tide over the difficulties."
"According to the purpose." The accompanying officials immediately saluted and promised loudly.
Li Hong rubbed his temples and asked the eunuch: "Has Marshal Meng started pulling it out?"
"Already set off." The eunuch replied.
"That's good, let's go, go to Zhuquehu." Li Hong said.
The eunuch hurriedly signaled Long Hu to come over. Li Hong was very tired after walking all the way. Naturally, he couldn't let him go on the next road, otherwise, where is the royal dignity? Where is the royal majesty
"Go to the palace and pick up the queen." When Long Hu started, Li Hong said with his eyes closed.
Eunuch: "Here."
…
Wang Huan tidyed up his monk's robe, feeling that he was doing well before.
Kneeling on the futon, he bowed three times to the Buddha statue and said, "Buddha, my disciples are going to get rid of demons today. I hope that the Buddha's spirit in the sky will bless my disciples and get rid of the demons entrenched in Chang'an and return me to Chang'an."
When he turned around, he found that Mr. Xinlu was standing at the door.
"Master host, are you still trying to stop me?" Wang Huan said.
Master Xinlu: "I don't want to see you drag the entire Buddhism into the abyss of evil! The development of Xinglong Temple is not easy to this day. It is not easy for Xinglong Temple to develop in exchange for the lives of masters in the past. Lao Na really does not want to see you ruin it alone."
Wang Huan said: "The words of the master
That's not the case, it's our generation's duty to eliminate demons and defend the way. If there are demons who can't be seen, are they worthy of the Buddha? Is it worthy of thousands of Buddhist believers? If the demons are allowed to wreak havoc in the world because of fear of future revenge, this Buddha cultivation is also a vain cultivation. The master master can rest assured that the poor monks will do everything by themselves, and they will never hinder Buddhism. "
"Wang Huan, Wang Huan, have you forgotten the real meaning of the previous master's name given to you?" Xinlu said sadly, "I hope you will forget the world, and it must lie in the Red Wall High Court. What's the collusion? I think you have understood this truth after kowtow for twenty years before the Buddha, but I don't want you to let it go after all."
Wang Huan's face was calm, and said, "I only do to eliminate demons and nothing else. Master Xinlu doesn't have to insult me like this."
Host Xinlu said: "If I don't let you go today, what do you want?"
Wang Huan said calmly: "Kill."
Master Xinlu sighed: "Very well, this is your choice. Come on, let me see what you have learned in the past twenty years."
Wang Huan frowned: "Master, why are you doing this?"
"Being presided over Xinglong Temple in Xia'an is responsible for the hundreds of Buddhist disciples in this temple. If you want them to perish, Lao Na must stop you!" said Master Xinlu.
Wang Huan said: "If this is the case, the poor monk is offended."
After half a stick of incense.
Host Xinlu was sitting against the wall with blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.
Wang Huan's face turned a little yellow, his left hand was covering his chest, his brows furrowed.
But the situation is very clear.
He won.
The host of Xinlu opened his mouth, his eyes were particularly complicated, shocked, astonished, sorrowful, and angry.
However, he could not say a complete sentence.
Only some syllables of unknown meaning can be pronounced.
"Mo... Mo..."
Wang Huan put his hands together and recited the Buddha's name, then turned and left.
After a while, other disciples from Xinglong Temple poured into the courtyard and helped Master Xinlu up.
However, Master Xinlu was already dead, and the body began to harden.
One of the hands of Master Xinlu was clasped on the snow, and when the monks picked up Master Xinlu's body, they discovered that there was a word there.
An unfinished word.
Recognize carefully, like a... magic word.
