The days on Mount Wutai are quieter and more leisurely than those on the Qianbian Sect.
After all, there is no group of burly men who chanted and practiced swords from morning till night, only monks who walk silently and whisper the scriptures every day.
Lin Feilu slept for a while, and then started to go to the Buddhist hall with the queen mother to have morning classes and listen to the eminent monk's lectures. Believe it or not is one thing, but listening to their low and comfortable scriptures, the mood will indeed be much calmer.
Lin Ting, in particular, although the rivers and lakes have a lot of relaxation in the past few months, his mood has improved a lot, but he still feels guilty about the people who died in that battle. Now when he comes to Mount Wutai, he kneels in front of the Buddha statue most of the time. Pray.
The eminent monk said that often chanting the mantra of rebirth can save the souls of the dead and eliminate the evil obstacles. All the anxiety and guilt in his heart can be comforted in front of the Buddha statue.
As soon as he approached the monk, Lin Feilu was a little worried, for fear that the monk would say "I think your highness has a good relationship with the Buddha, it's better to take refuge in Buddhism." Lin Ting's personality is already a buddha, and Lin Feilu is afraid that he will see the red dust or become a monk. .
Although, Miss Yanxin is still waiting for him to go back!
But this is naturally because she thinks too much, no matter how powerful the eminent monk is, he dare not speak to guide the prince to become a monk.
After observing for a period of time, Lin Ting did not seem to have the idea of becoming a monk. Lin Feilu relaxed and began to catch monkeys all over the mountain.
Having so much fun along the way, I almost forgot the promise to Lin Zhanyuan. When I leave from Mount Wutai, I will return to the palace. I will catch a monkey in advance and raise it. With Lin Ting by his side, it must be easy to train, and I won't worry about raising it when I bring it into the palace.
Fortunately, wild monkeys in this era are not protected animals, and Lin Fei deer does not have to have a psychological burden. I thought that a clever little monkey jumping up and down would be very difficult to catch. Who knew that after taking the animal magnet of Lin Ting and strolling in the mountains for two times, a little monkey took the initiative to swing down from the tree and looked at the two people in front of him curiously.
Lin Ting squatted down and took out the apple prepared in advance. The little monkey jumped directly into his hand, held the apple and gnawed it. Lin Ting held it in his arms. It didn't resist at all, and his expression was a bit happy. contented.
Lin Feilu was stunned, and finally had to give Lin Ting a thumbs up: "Worthy of a Disney princess."
Lin Ting also laughed and teased the little monkey. Hearing this, he turned his head and asked, "What princess?"
Lin Feilu gave a haha, and said excitedly: "Brother Dahuang, let's give it a name, what about Kongkong?"
Lin Ting laughed and shook his head: "You have been in Wutai Mountain for so long, and your comprehension has improved a lot. Master Shi An should be very happy to know."
Lin Feilu: "?"
What savvy
I'm talking about the emptiness of Monkey King.
With empty space, Lin Feilu's life on Wutai Mountain has a lot more fun. Worthy of being a monkey in Foshan, he is very spiritual and human, and it is easy to raise.
The climate in the mountains changes faster than down the mountain. Lin Feilu's ten autumn outfits have not been worn through in turns, and the mountains seem to be in winter suddenly.
The queen mother escorted her to the fire and said: "When it snows in the winter, it is called cold, but the snow scene is also very beautiful. You can enjoy this snow scene when you come."
Lin Feilu has always liked snowing, snowball fights and snowman skiing have become an indispensable project for her and Lin Zhanyuan every winter. It's a pity not to accompany him in the palace this year, the silly brother probably will cry again.
She chose a ski resort early on, no matter its slope or location, it is extremely suitable for skiing, and she also prepared skiing tools in advance, everything is ready, just waiting for the snow.
Days are always better because of anticipation.
One morning in the twelfth lunar month, when Lin Feilu woke up, he opened his eyes and heard the sound of snow falling from branches outside the window.
She didn't have time to wear her shoes, so she rushed over and opened the window.
Entering the eye is the mountains and plains with white snow, and the already quiet Wutai Mountain has become more and more silent because of this snow. It's a pity that this silence was quickly broken by Lin Feilu's yelling. She wrapped her cloak, held her tub, and went straight to the ski slope.
The palace people in the mountains knew that the princess was looking forward to skiing. After the snow accumulated last night, they transported the snow from other places here to spread the layers. Therefore, the snow on this steep slope was much thicker, and Lin Feilu slipped to the end. , The laughter floated far and far along the flying snow.
After playing until noon, she went back with great interest. As soon as she entered the house, she saw the Queen Mother sitting with Lin Ting and whispering something. Lin Ting still had a letter in her hand, and both of them looked a little bit emotional. heavy.
The smile on Lin Feilu's face gradually receded, and he asked anxiously, "Grandma, brother, what happened?"
The queen mother looked up and smiled kindly: "Xiao Wu is back? Is it fun? Willow branches, see if the princess dress is wet."
Lin Feilu was very nervous: "What happened on earth? Don't hide it from me."
Lin Ting smiled and shook his head: "It's not a big deal, so why not hide it from you, just see it for yourself."
She hurried over to take the letter.
Only by looking at it did I know what happened.
Emperor Lin finally used troops against Song State.
Just like Lin Ting's analysis before, instead of watching Song Guo gradually grow up, it is better to take advantage of it and take the initiative to attack.
However, this use of troops was not a full-scale dispatch of troops to fight, but a small-scale trial by Emperor Lin first.
There has always been a "free zone" on the border between the two countries. This part of the territory does not belong to either of Songlin and Lin. However, because of the exchange of traders between the two countries, it has formed a commercial city no less than the scale of Fuzhou. Although dangerous, it is very prosperous.
With such a developed business, tax and silver are naturally a considerable amount of income.
But because it does not belong to all parties, there is no need to pay taxes. Such a virtuous circle has caused the business district here to become more and more prosperous.
The purpose of Emperor Lin's use of troops this time was to incorporate this "free zone" into the territory of Dalin, and to tax it in the future to fill the national treasury.
According to the previous Song Emperor's style, this piece of territory that didn't belong to the Song Kingdom might have been let out directly, and would not compete with Dalin at all.
But Song Jinglan is not his father.
As soon as Dalin made a move, the army on the border of Song Dynasty directly pressed to the edge of Liberty City, making it clear that they wanted to fight Dalin for the ownership of this place.
The letter was issued half a month ago. Calculated by time, the two armies should have had a confrontation now, but I don’t know how it turned out.
However, this time the trial also allowed Emperor Lin to understand the attitude of the new emperor of the Song Kingdom.
After reading the letter, Lin Feilu felt very complicated for a while. The war was too far away for her. Whether it was a flower planter in the past or an ancient career in these years, she never thought that one day war would happen by her side.
Fortunately, this is only a small-scale probing confrontation, far from the point where the two countries are fighting against the creatures.
As Lin Ting said, it's actually not a big deal.
She sat down in front of the fire in a daze, "I don't know who won."
Lin Ting calmed down: "I'll wait for the news."
Because of this incident, Lin Feilu couldn't bring up any interest in the long-awaited skiing. Every day, he sat empty and waited for the letter to be delivered on the only way up the mountain.
After January, two days before the new year, the latest report letter finally arrived.
In order to compete for ownership of Liberty City, the two countries fought against each other several times and finally drew a tie.
This is the best result in Lin Feilu's eyes, and it may be considered a good result for Song Guo.
But for Dalin, it was really bad news.
A tie is equivalent to losing to Dalin.
Because they failed to crush the fragile country that they had despised.
The Song State who heard that Emperor Lin was furious and sent a proton tremblingly, the Song State who was weak and weak, and the Song State who Dalin didn't regard it as something in his pocket.
The soldiers who resisted Dalin showed that they were different from the past.
Lin Feilu suddenly remembered what Xi Guifei taught her many years ago.
She said that the weakness of the Song Dynasty was caused by the current emperor's licentious political affairs. They once dominated the Central Plains, and the great ancestors of Dalin and the Song army were defeated in the Huaiye. The Yong Dynasty tried to invade Huai'an but was beheaded by the Song army by 30,000 soldiers.
People who have been wolves will not really become dogs.
Once this former overlord of the Central Plains sits on a ruthless king, it will reawaken the wolf's soul.
It's incredible, that person would actually be Xiaomei who eats popsicles with her in summer and roasts sweet potatoes in winter.
Lin Feilu ran back holding Kongkong all the way, and handed the letter to Lin Ting.
After reading it, he sighed, "I'm afraid it won't be peaceful in the next few years."
This year's New Year has arrived in such worries.
The empress dowager has grown old in these years, and she doesn't bother to toss about it again. She hasn't returned to the palace for the New Year for several years, and she has spent the past few years on Mount Wutai. A widow and lonely old man, accompanied by a palace official, also felt desolate.
This time, there were finally two grandchildren with each other. The queen mother was very happy. She told the palace people to go down the mountain to buy new year goods, so that the two good grandchildren should feel the lively atmosphere and have a good year.
It was also the first time for Lin Feilu to spend the New Year outside the palace, and she also took the queen mother to cut window grilles and paste couplets. In the clean place of Buddhism, the fireworks and firecrackers can't be put off. The palace people bought a lot of Qitian lanterns. After having reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, Lin Feilu and Lin Ting accompanied the queen mother to set off the Qitian lanterns in front of the mountain gate.
Lin Feilu was a little worried that setting up Qitian Lanterns in the mountains would cause mountain fires, but there was a lot of snow that night, and the palace people tried it in advance. Qi Tian Lantern flew in mid-air and was extinguished by the heavy snow, but it solved her. Worry.
The Queen Mother also said: "Just mean it, don't fly too high, as long as you are sincere, God will hear it."
The three of them each took a Qitian Lantern, wrote their wishes on the paper, and then let them fly into the sky in the wind and snow.
The Qi Tian Lantern, which was flickering in the snow, looked hazy and beautiful. Lin Feilu couldn't help thinking of the Qixi Festival night when she and Song Jinglan watched the Qi Tian Lantern on the top of the tower.
She was very close to the stars that day, and very close to him.
The flying snow poured down his head, the mountain breeze screamed, and the Qi Tian Lantern was blown and swayed from side to side. The fire gradually dimmed before it flew high, and was about to go out.
Before it was completely extinguished, Lin Feilu hurriedly closed his eyes with his fists and made a pious wish.
Although this wish sounds hypocritical, even in the place where she once lived, it was just a casual joke.
But at this moment, she still reverently made a wish: Hope for peace in the world.
Even if it is for the better life of your own future, please don't fight, please let this kind of peace continue.
Lin Ting held the Queen Mother's hand and said softly: "Grandma, you must always be in good health."
The queen mother laughed, but there were tears in her eyes: "Of course, the Aijia still has to watch you get married and have children."
Lin Feilu opened his eyes and saw that several Qi Tian Lanterns finally went out, and they were blown towards the valley by the wind.
After the Chinese New Year, Lin Feilu stayed on Mount Wutai for a few months. They waited until the snow melted in the spring and the trees in the mountains sprout new shoots. The two people said goodbye to the Queen Mother and set off for the palace.
Counting the time, they have been out of the palace for almost a year, and Lin Feilu still misses Xiao Lan and Lin Zhanyuan.
She was a little worried about Lin Ting's state. She watched carefully all the way back to Beijing and found that he didn't seem to resist returning to Beijing. In fact, if possible, she hopes that he will not go back.
However, as the King of Qi, Lin Ting still has responsibilities that belong to him even if he does not participate in the seizure of the abdomen.
The carriage swayed all the way, and on the day it returned to Kyoto, the winter jasmine flowers bloomed at the gate of the city.
