Master, do you want an appointment? [Cultivation]

Chapter 43 The Past of the Illusion ([-])

"An Ran?" Mu Wu flipped out these two words with the tip of his tongue, as if he was recalling the hasty but long nine years,

It seems that he didn't realize that Nian Xu was asking himself.He reacted for a long while before he nodded and said, "An Ran. How are you?"

There was an inextricable darkness in front of his eyes, the thick black was filled with a shrinking oppression, and it was almost hard to breathe.

"There are no years in the mountains, everything is fine." Nianxu was calm, as if he hadn't seen a friend for a long time, and when they met again, they looked at each other and smiled, saying well to each other.

Mu Wu knew that this was indeed the case for Nianxu.He knew him too well, so he laughed too.

He trembled his eyelashes, and slowly opened his eyelids, the dazzling light almost didn't hurt his eyes to shed tears.He blinked, lowered his gaze, pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay... just be safe."

He laughed, his eyes were stinging but he didn't dare to blink anymore, in his blurred vision, he suddenly remembered that there was still someone standing behind him.He waved his hand and made all the maids and servants waiting in the hall to retreat, saying: "If one more person knows what I heard here today, then don't keep your life. Everyone retreat, without me Order not to come."

The inexplicable expressions of the servant girl and servant turned pale instantly, Xu Shi knew too much about Mu Wu's tricks, so he quickly bowed and retreated.Nian Xu didn't say much, as if he was waiting for Mu Wu to speak.

Mu Wu bit the tip of his tongue, the smell of blood filled his mouth.He swallowed the blood, raised his face and smiled at Nianxu.The two touches of bright red in the corners of the eyes are burning like phoenix flowers blooming all over the mountain.Because of this birthmark, I don't know how many people said behind his back that he was a monster, the reincarnation of a ghost, and an unlucky celestial evil.But he remembered that Nianxu hugged him one winter and praised him for his good looks, saying that he was especially good-looking when he smiled.

When he raised his head, he saw clearly the person in front of him. It was exactly the same. This person was exactly the same as before, when they parted nine years ago, without any change.He stretched out his hand uncontrollably, but when it was about to touch Nianxu's cheek, it dropped and landed on Nianxu's shoulder.Nianxu faced him, calm and peaceful from the beginning to the end, the warm light in his eyes did not even flicker for a moment.

"Luo Zhi, let's sit down and talk." He raised his brows and smiled, his brows and eyes, which were so gorgeous that they were slightly sharp, were only beautiful at the moment.Yes, like the clusters of phoenix flowers, the twelve-point color facing the flower-viewers in the water.

Nianxu nodded in response.Nianxu sat back at the horizontal table where refreshments were placed, and Mu Wu naturally wouldn't sit at the head, but sat next to Nianxu.Seeing that the pastries on the table were barely touched, he asked, "Why, these don't suit your taste, so I'll ask someone to change them." Then he stood up, "You like spicy food, I suggest Kang Ke is hard to find, I will make it for you."

Nianxu stopped him and said: "No need to do that. Eating too much is useless, so don't bother. The name Xie Luozhi has died, and the little monk's dharma name is Nianxu. This time I came here to discuss something with Prime Minister Mu."

Mu Wu trembled all over, and sat down slowly again.He laughed and nodded: "Okay, tell me. What do you want to discuss with me?"

"It's about common people, but it's a matter of immeasurable merit." Nianxu said.

Mu Wu reached out and took the tea in front of Nianxu, Nianxu was taken aback.Thinking that he had drunk this tea before, Mu Wu knew that Nianxu drank tea in the same direction as he drank it, and when he drank it, he would tilt the side of the hand holding the tea, not more than an inch and a half.He didn't need to weigh it specially, and he accurately printed his lips on the rim of the cup that Nian Xu drank.

"Boundless merit? Alright. You just need to tell me what you want me to do?" Mu Wu swallowed the bitter tea in his mouth, talking about the smell of blood.He raised his eyes again to look at Nianxu, "You say, I will do."

Nianxu fiddled with the rosary beads in his hands, and the rosary beads made a small sound when they collided, accompanied by the rustling of the trees outside the house.

"The imperial court has enough money to appease the people, food, herbs and epidemic prevention are indispensable." Nianxu said.

Mu Wu turned his head to look at the rain outside, and said, "I thought this rain would pass. According to you, this time is a catastrophe. Then how many people must die before they are willing to let it go?"

"A secret..."

"The secret must not be leaked. Okay, I know. I assure you, this time there will be an imperial envoy who is enough to handle the errand, and the money allocated from above will definitely be enough. If one or two of the money does not fall into the hands of the common people, then the money will be transferred." I will also pull up the people. The epidemic, the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital have to go, if they don't go, I will let them go. Is that okay?" Mu Wu turned his head lightly, narrowing his eyes slightly and looking at Nianxu with a smile?

Probably because Mu Wu answered too easily, said it too definitely and too relentlessly, even if he thought about it, he felt inconceivable.He has also been in the officialdom, and he has seen half of them intertwined with interests. He doesn't doubt that Mu Wu will do what he says, but he can't figure out how many people Mu Wu will offend if he does what he says, and how much it will bring to himself. Worry.

Mu Wu held Nianxu's tea in one hand, and slowly rubbed the rim of the cup with the other.He said: "I agree to everything you said, and you don't have to worry about the rest. Now, let me ask you."

At this time, his brows were still burning brightly, but the stinging pain was suppressed by him.Nian Xu is calm, he is calm, even if it is only superficially calm, he is still calm.This kind of calm suppressed the madness in the deepest part of his heart, but the more he suppressed that madness, the stronger it would become.Until it erupts completely or finds a gap and disappears completely.

He doesn't like to be sloppy when doing things, and everything seems to be just a sentence in his mouth, a trivial matter.He turned sideways, resting his elbows on the armrest, and said, "Bento is an exchange of equal value. Let me help you out by answering a few questions. If you can't answer, you don't have to say anything, but you can't lie to me." ."

Nianxu nodded, and said: "Monks don't tell lies."

"How did you become a monk?" Numerous questions flashed through Mu Wu's mind, and finally he asked this seemingly least important one.But it's actually the smartest question.Because Nianxu wanted to seriously answer this question, he would inevitably tell the past on the battlefield.

The rosary on Nianxu's fingertips did not stop, his voice was gurgling and gentle like a winding stream, he said: "The serious injuries in the battle were incurable, and the master once said that Xie Luoyi's life span was only as long as the crown and another one. He knew that my life expectancy was approaching. Come and bring me back to the teacher's school. I was accepted as a disciple because I felt that I had the root of wisdom, and I had a predestined relationship with the Buddha and him."

"Godly, what you said is really like a story in a drama, the old gods go down to the world to accept disciples. It's just that the bullshit you say is always dry. Could it be that you are still a god now." Mu Wu's fingertips were cold, The temperature of the teacup spread to the fingertips through the cup wall, but as soon as his hands left, the sporadic temperature would suddenly fade away.

"But ordinary people, Mu Xiangyan laughed." Nianxu said.

Mu Wu was noncommittal, just smiled and said, "The one just now doesn't count. Now the second question, since you are alive, why haven't you come to me for the past nine years?"

There is a smile everywhere on his eyebrows and lips, but his fingers are extremely cold.The warm temperature of the tea cup is gradually cooling down, and the temperature that can be felt by the fingertips is getting less and less.

"Xie Luozhi is dead. There is a saying in the teacher's school that it is easy not to enter the world, not to be affected by karma." Nian Xu replied, his eyes were still clear and peaceful, and when he looked at Mu Wu, he was just a passer-by who knew his name. cause and effect.

Mu Wu smiled lightly, and nodded his head invisibly, looking at the tea leaves sinking at the bottom of the cup, his eyes were dark, and said: "Got it, the Buddhist gate of the hidden world is pure. Then you can Thank you well. You see, if you answered my question, you don't owe me half of the karma. What a bargain."

Don't say anything.

He has always been like this, when he meets something he doesn't want to hear, he just treats it as if he can't hear it, or doesn't understand it.One ear went in without a brain and came out of the other ear.Really free and easy, but also really ruthless.

"The third question. Why did Xie Luozhi agree to the Yin family's marriage proposal? Xie Luozhi likes Yin Xiudong and wants to marry her? Is it true that if you come back alive, I will just watch you marry her in a big sedan chair?" Going home? I want to congratulate you with a glass of wine, and call her sister-in-law by the way?" The tea in the cup was already cold, and Mu Wu stiffly wanted to lift his finger, but it was in vain.His eyes were fixed on the teacup, but no matter how hard he tried, his fingers didn't move a single bit.

This question successfully made Nianxu frowned slightly, but he expressed his reluctance, he said: "At the beginning, the Yin family intended to marry. But since Xie Luozhi is not young, naturally he would not agree."

If he didn't agree at the beginning, then Mu Wu's subsequent questions would be completely meaningless.Apparently Mu Wu never thought of this answer, staring at the teacup for a long time in a daze before suddenly laughing.Holding the teacup in both hands, he lowered his head and laughed until his whole body trembled.He was supposed to be laughing, but when he was laughing, he didn't make a sound other than a breathy sound.He must have laughed so hard that his stomach ached, maybe even his internal organs hurt. He couldn't help but arched his back, bending his waist extremely low.

Nianxu watched, but didn't know why he did this.

Probably Xixiu Xia is coming at this moment, and it is impossible to tell what Mu Wu is laughing at at this moment.

Yes, mocking.

He laughed, laughing at Yin Xiudong's wasting effort, but the person he likes doesn't even know that she likes him.

He laughed, laughed at himself, Yin Xiudong's lies deceived a widow's name into being justified, and tricked her into the place of "Yin Xiudong" next to the name of "Xie Luozhi".But he, no one would believe even a lie.

Yin Xiudong probably liked Xie Luozhi for ten years, and carved "Yin Xiudong" next to "Xie Luozhi" for nine years.Everyone, everyone who mentions the famous general Xie Luozhi will think of Yin Xiudong, and they all thank General Luo Zhixie for having no relationship with Prime Minister Yin's daughter.The names of the two of them were written down in the history books and handed down side by side for several years later.And he has nothing... and he has nothing... empty hands, nothing.

Who is more pitiful than whom?

Mu Wu didn't know either.He just felt that in this life, he really lost in a complete mess.

What a mess...

Nianxu was silent, seeing Mu Wu laughed so much that tea was spilled all over his body, he didn't know, he finally sighed softly, stood up and put his hand on Mu Wu's shoulder hesitantly, and asked: "Don't laugh, great joy and great sorrow are both hurts." body."

"Buddhist saying, great sorrow has no tears, great enlightenment has no words, and laughter has no sound. Guess, am I crying or laughing?" Mu Wu didn't raise his head, his voice was as calm as a lake of stagnant water, but under the stagnant water there was a hidden countercurrent.

Nianxu replied: "Whether it's joy or sorrow, it's all the past. You might as well let it go."

Mu Wu shook his head and said softly: "You forget, if I forget again, no one will remember. If no one remembers, it will cease to exist. I can't bear it."

There was a subtle smile in his voice, and he smelled the faint sandalwood scent from Nian Xu's body, an unfamiliar, sandalwood scent.He said: "Nianxu...is it Nianxu? I'll call you that from now on. Now, let me ask you one last question."

"Ask." Nianxu's hand holding the prayer beads hangs by his side, and the other hand rests on Mu Wu's shoulder.

Mu Wu really hated, hated this person's eternal rationality.

He asked him: "Xie Luo's love... no, it's liking, just a little bit, has he ever liked Mu Wu?"

"Feel sorry......"

"You just need to answer yes or no." Mu Wu calmly interrupted Nian Xu's words, his voice couldn't be more indifferent.

"No."

"Is Xie Luozhi dead?" Mu Wu murmured in a daze at that moment, not begging Nianxu for an answer.

But when Nianxu heard about it, he said, "He's dead."

"Dead? Oh, I see. Thanks."
