Chapter 113

"Father, can we answer any Bodhisattva we ask?" A boy with a horn pierced raised his head and asked his father who was about to kneel down in front of the Bodhisattva statue.

"As long as it is a good wish, the Bodhisattva will help you realize it."

Looking at the father and son, Liu Mu couldn't help but think of the scene when his parents took him to the temple to offer incense when he was a child.

I don't know how father and Xiangyun are doing now, Liu Mu clenched his fist, "Feng Langqu, you made me like this, how could I let you go, I absolutely can't let Wanran marry that villain.

"Liu benefactor, you are safe and sound." An old man's voice came from behind.

Liu Mu turned around subconsciously, and saw a benevolent old monk looking at him, Liu Mu said, "Master is calling me?"

"It's the benefactor Liu."

Liu Mu hurriedly said, "I'm afraid the master has identified the wrong person. My surname is Yin, not the benefactor Liu that the master said."

The old monk just smiled, "My father came here for business in the early years, and stayed overnight in this temple during a thunderstorm. At that time, the benefactor was still young, so I'm afraid he doesn't remember me."

Could it be my father's old time?Liu Mu thought to himself.

"Abbot, someone from the yamen came to deliver a message." A young novice ran over and said, "The yamen sent someone to ask questions, and they said that Uncle Fan's body, should we bring it back?"

The old monk sighed, "I told you Uncle Chen, bring the corpse back and cremate it."

The little monk took his orders and left in a hurry.

Liu Mu said, "It turns out that the master is the abbot Kongxuan of your temple." Liu Mu had heard of the abbot Kongxuan early in the morning, but since he came to Pudu Temple, the abbot Kongxuan has been in retreat and has not been able to meet him.

Abbot Kongxuan said, "Catch whatever you get."

Liu Mu nodded, thinking, this old monk's apprentice died because of me, he didn't want to take revenge on me, did he?

Abbot Kongxuan said, "Since Fan can't let go of his inner demons, it's a kind of relief now. The evil causes he planted will inevitably reap the evil consequences."

Liu Mu was also curious about this matter, and asked, "Could it be that there is something unknown about Fan's life?"

"Liao Fan was the son of a general back then, but he fell in love with the daughter of an ordinary family. The old general loved him too much, so he didn't care what the family told him, so he directly found a matchmaker and offered a dowry. The woman's parents saw that their daughter was lucky enough to climb up the mountain. The dignitaries were naturally overjoyed, and agreed regardless of the woman's objection. But the woman had a sweetheart at the time, and when she learned that the woman's parents had agreed to the general's marriage proposal, the two agreed to elope. Unexpectedly, the woman's father found out early and put the woman under house arrest. After marriage, the woman has always been obsessed with the man she was a childhood sweetheart, and finally eloped with the man when Fan Sui's father went out to fight. It was two years later when Liao Fan found the two, and the child of the woman and her lover had already been born. In anger, he killed the man and his flesh and blood. The woman committed suicide in grief. The old general came forward to settle the murder case and save Fan from prison. Came here to become a monk. Because of this, the old general couldn’t get sick, and he passed away half a year later. Negative fate. I gave him the dharma name "Liaofan" at the beginning, hoping that he could get rid of the mortal world and convert to Buddhism. I don’t think he still can’t Get rid of your demons."

Liu Mu said, "It's such a pity that a person who betrayed me can torture him in his heart for so many years. But then again, if Fan insisted on marrying a woman who didn't love him back then, how could it have turned into what he is today? s consequence."

Abbot Kongxuan smiled and said, "Although that's the case, what Benefactor Yin said is clear, but when it comes to him, why not? I saw that Benefactor Yin is frowning and looks melancholy, so there must be a burden that I can't let go of."

"Huh?" Liu Mu subconsciously touched the center of his brows, but he touched his mask.

Abbot Kongxuan smiled and said, "What the world sees is the skin, but what the poor monk sees is the heart. When is the time to repay the injustice? What the benefactor lost is just a fleeting cloud in the world. What can you get? The benefactor is Yin today. The benefactor, tomorrow, may become someone else again. The same is true for the identity, and which things in the world really belong to the benefactor."

Liu Mu frowned in thought, and Abbot Kongxuan said, "One thought becomes a demon, one thought becomes a Buddha, benefactor Yin, think twice."

Liu Mu sat in the room, thinking over and over again the words of Abbot Kongxuan. "That's right, what the Liu family lost was just family wealth. Fortunately, everyone is still alive today. I did so many wrong things back then, presumably this is the retribution God wants me to experience. Even if I kill Feng Langqu, Wanran and I Being together may not lead to happiness, since there is a man who loves her now, why should I ruin her marriage again."

"Brother Feng, I've been disturbed a lot these days, so I'm leaving now." Liu Mu went to Feng's residence early the next morning to bid farewell.

"Why, Brother Yin, don't you plan to stay longer?" Feng Langqu said politely.

Liu Mu said, "The Central Plains is vast and abundant, and there are still many places that I have never been to, so I want to take this opportunity to visit some famous mountains and rivers in the Central Plains. If Brother Feng has the opportunity to go to the grasslands in the future, don't forget to come to my house as a guest."

"I know Brother Yin, you have always acted in a free and easy way, and you have always kept your word. I can't keep you. If that's the case, I won't keep you."

Liu Mu nodded, "It seems that I won't be able to attend Brother Feng's wedding day, and this small gift will be offered in advance." After speaking, he handed Feng Langqu a brocade box containing jade wishes.

Feng Langqu smiled and said, "If Wanran can agree to my marriage proposal, I will definitely convey Brother Yin's heart to her."

Liu Mu was not far from the city gate when he heard a panicked sound of horse hooves behind him. Hearing this sound, Liu Mu thought it was a bandit coming, but when he looked again, the woman on the horse was holding the reins tightly, her body was stiff and her expression was tense. , obviously not good at riding a horse.

Liu Mu couldn't help becoming nervous, unexpectedly Feng Linling came after her.

Liu Mufei jumped onto the horse, reined in the horse, jumped off the horse first, and then helped Feng Linling off.Said, "You know you can't ride a horse, but you still ride so fast, how dangerous it is."

Feng Linling only asked in a questioning tone, "Why did you just leave without making a sound?"

Liu Mu smiled, "I left in a bit of a hurry, I even forgot to say goodbye to the eldest lady for a while." His words sounded a little rusty.

Feng Linling frowned, "Where are you going?"

Liu Mu seemed free and easy to say, "Of course I went to a place I haven't been to before."

"I also need to go."

Liu Mu said, "In the past few years, I have become accustomed to living in no fixed place. I live wherever I go. The sky is the bedding and the ground is the bed. How can such a golden branch and jade leaves like Miss Feng be like a rough person like me. I am an outsider. In the end, we still have to return to the grassland.”

"What if I want to go outside the customs with you?"

Liu Mu said, "I still have to hurry, Miss Feng should go back."

Feng Linling smiled wryly, and took out the jade pendant that Liu Mu deliberately left behind that day, "Your jade pendant is here with me, you can take it back."

"This jade pendant," Liu Mu said, "everyone got to know each other once, and I will leave this jade pendant for you to think about. I have to go on my way, so I will take my leave. There will be a later date." After speaking, he jumped into the carriage and drove away.

"Girl, a benefactor asked me to give this letter to benefactor Yu." Yu Wanran opened the door of the mansion, and a young novice handed the letter to Yu Wanran.

Yu Wanran hurriedly opened the letter, only to see that it said "The person Miss Yu is waiting for will not show up, Liu Mu is already dead on the way to escape to the outside of the pass, the deceased is dead, Miss Yu, don't worry about it anymore. Take care, there will be no future." .”

"Who sent you this letter?"

The little novice said, "It's the benefactor Yin wearing a mask."

"Where is she now?"

"Benefactor Yin left early yesterday morning."

Yu Wanran asked, "Did she say where she was going? Or did she leave something else?"

"Benefactor Yin only asked me to send the letter here the next day after he left, and told me that if anyone asked about other whereabouts, let me pass it on, saying that he would not come back again. The monk left first." The novice put his hands together and bowed slightly, turned around and walked a few steps, came back again, and said with an embarrassed smile, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot, Donor Yin asked me to tell Donor Yu, saying that he had already given the gift for the new wedding We've arrived at Feng Mansion."

After the little novice left, Yu Wanran went back to the room and read the few numbers several times, wondering if the person who wrote the letter really let go, or was really heartless.

"My lord, this subordinate has already checked outside the customs." In Feng Langqu's study, a follower stood respectfully behind Feng Langqu and said.

"Say." Feng Langqu took a sip of his tea.

The entourage said, "The subordinates have found out that the Borzhuoke family is a local prominent family. Borzhuo Ke Zelang is a businessman who sells horses between the outside of the pass and the Central Plains all the year round. He is a wealthy party outside the pass. He has two sons, the eldest son died of a serious illness a few years ago. The second son, Borzhuo Ke Duomu, is the illegitimate son of Bor Zhuo Ke Zelang and a Han man. He has been fostered in a Han family since he was born. It is special, and has been seldom seen. Many people in the Borzhuoke family have never seen this person. I heard that there was a big incident in the local area a few years ago, and people were killed, and they have not appeared since then. "

Feng Langqu nodded. In this way, this Yin Tianchou is really not Liu Mu, but he is supercilious.

The information obtained by Feng Langqu's subordinates is indeed true.It's just that how Liu Mu knew the identity of Borzhuo Ke Duomu was thanks to Xing Chi.In the early years, Borzhuo Ke Zelang encountered a bandit on his way to the Central Plains to run a business, and almost died. Thanks to the encounter with Xing Chi, he survived the catastrophe.After that, the two became sworn brothers with different surnames.Let's talk about the illegitimate son of Boljok Zerang, when the bandit robbed Boldjok Zerang, when Xingchi rescued him, Duo Mu had already been killed by the bandit.As for why Borzhuo Ke Zelang concealed this matter, it was just because there was a rule in the clan that if he died childless, his property, wives and concubines would be handed over to the juniors in the clan after his death.As for the people who killed people back then, it was also to cover up the fact that Borzhuo Ke Duomu was dead. Ze Lang asked Xingchi to help him perform such a scene.

Looking at Liu Mu at this time, he is crossing his legs, driving the carriage on the mountain road, humming a little tune and throwing peeled peanuts into his mouth.Thinking about where to go next, "Go to the back mountain of Huguo Temple first, and then bring my father back. I don't know if my father is in the capital now, or has already returned to Jinling. When I go back to Jinling, I will find Ziyan and Xiangyun." , let’s find a place where no one knows me, regroup, and earn back the lost money bit by bit. With my father’s brains, I don’t believe that I can’t make it back to the Liu family’s original great career! There must be mistakes, I don’t bother to care about you.” After speaking, he threw away the peanut shells in his hand, raised his whip, and rode away.
