Chapter 324 Dark Thoughts
This so-called new pattern naturally refers to the coexistence of the internal eunuchs Feng Bao and Yang Ning. The external eunuchs Zhang Juzheng and his family, together with Yang Bo, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Ge Shouli, the imperial censor of Zuodu, the Imperial Court, Lu Tiaoyang, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Lu Tiaoyang, the minister of the Ministry of Works. The balanced situation formed by the neutral faction mixed between Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, led by Shangshu Zhu Heng and other veterans. This situation is bound to last for a long time due to the "quiet thinking after action" of all parties and the influence of various factors. exist for a while.
With the coming of a spring rain, the last chill of winter was dispelled. After the spring rain, the wind and air in the capital began to become fresh and warm. Everything sprouted, vegetation was reborn, and the hardworking people also took off their thick coats. Cotton-padded clothes have entered the tense and busy spring plowing season. The princes, dignitaries and children of wealthy families in the capital have begun to busy chasing hawks and dogs, calling friends, and going on outings. Naturally, those talented and beautiful people who think they have some talent. It is inevitable to gather together in a place with great spring scenery, to enjoy tea and drink, to recite poems and compose poems. It is so pleasant.
In normal times, Yang Ning would inevitably take Shui Ling and others on an outing to the outskirts of Beijing to feel the fresh and vigorous atmosphere in this great spring. Going to Tangshan Imperial Villa would be a very desirable choice. But now. He But he was no longer in such a mood because there was another Yue Feng who had broken his hamstring and was lying in bed silently all day long.
After the careful care of Han Yuniang and the medical care of Wen Ziyan in the past few days, Guan Lei, a black boy, finished his homework at the old monk's office every day and took time to come over to accompany him. Yue Feng's injury did not worsen. However, He became taciturn and depressed. Even when Yang Ning took the initiative to talk to him, Guan Lei deliberately made him happy. He was also absent-minded and in a trance. This made Yang Ning see it in his eyes and worry in his heart. How could there be anything else? Why do you want to go on a spring outing?
In anxious anticipation, Wen Ziyan's master, Qianye Shenni, finally arrived in the capital with two middle-aged female nuns.
The moment he saw this Qianye Shenni, Yang Ning's first feeling was that she had seen another worldly master. Although she was thin, she only wore an ordinary moon-white nun robe. But she had long He has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a serious expression. He may be around seventy or eighty years old. But he has a childish face with white hair and a clear and healthy look. His kind eyes make people feel like they are taking a breath of spring breeze.
When Qianye Shenni saw Yang Ning for the first time, his eyes narrowed and his brows furrowed slightly. He inadvertently glanced at Wen Ziyan, whose face was slightly red. Wen Ziyan's face suddenly turned pale, as if she had realized. Why? I dare not look into Qianye Shenni’s eyes.
Yang Ning's heart skipped a beat: Could this Qianye Shenni have seen something?
Thought in his heart. But Yang Ning still respectfully welcomed Qianye Shenni into the house.
"Senior Qianye. This junior is asking Miss Zi Yan to help you. I'm really scared. Senior can work hard to come here. Junior is really grateful..." With that, Yang Ning left his seat and expressed his deep gratitude to Qianye Shenni. A gift was given.
Qianye Shenni stretched out her hand and held it up slightly. She smiled and said: "You are so polite, Eunuch Yang. Healing illnesses and saving people is originally the wish of a poor nun traveling in the world. What's more, this time Zi Yan urgently sent a message. The disciple is in trouble. How can a poor nun be a master? The gift of standing by and watching.”
Yang Ning sighed: "The gods and nuns are already very old, but they can be banished to the mortal world and take it as their own responsibility to save the common people. It is really admirable. The bodhisattva's mind like my predecessors is really better than those who blindly pretend to be noble and hide from the world. By living alone, the so-called 'extraordinary experts' are more than a hundred times, a thousand times stronger. They should really learn from their predecessors and be on par with them."
Yang Ning was so flattering that Wen Ziyan couldn't help but look up at him, but Yang Ning turned a blind eye.
As the saying goes, "Thousands of people can be worn, but flattery can never be worn." What's more, Yang Ning's words really touched on Qianye Shenni's pride. Although Qianye Shenni's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, the two people behind him The middle-aged nun disciple could not help but smile and look proud.
"Eunuch Yang praised the poor nun so much. It really makes the poor nun unworthy. I think so. Now that the poor nun has arrived, we still need to pay attention to the injury. Where is the little brother of my father-in-law now?" Qianye Shenni asked with a smile. .
Yang Ning immediately waved his hand and said: "No hurry, no hurry. Seniors rushed to the capital after a long journey. It has been a hard journey. It is better to wash up and rest first, and after eating, it is not too late to see a doctor." He said, not waiting for Qianye Shenni to say anything else. Yang Ning turned to Chen Xiang and said: "Prepare the best guest rooms for Shen Ni and the two master wives. Prepare fragrant soup for bathing. In addition, send someone to Guiyun House on Qipan Street to order a table of good vegetarian dishes. Let them hurry up. Delivered. It is said that the vegetarian dishes there are the best in the capital..."
Yang Ning was waiting to say more, but Qianye Shenni interjected: "Eunuch Yang, I don't think it's necessary for the poor nuns to go to such trouble. My disciple Zi Yan's house is nearby. The poor nuns and the others can rest at her house. Again. "You are not too busy to rest and eat. I'd better take a look at my father-in-law's little brother's injury first. The longer the injury lasts, the more dangerous it will be."
Seeing that Qianye Shenni spoke solemnly, Yang Ning hesitated for a moment before nodding and said: "Okay. Then I will ask you, Shenni. Please come here."
With that said, Yang Ning personally led Qianye Shenni to the residence of Yue Feng. At the same time, he also told Chen Xiang and Han Shanlin to do what they just told them immediately.
Seeing Yang Ning coming in with a white-haired and childlike master. Han Yuniang, who was standing beside Yue Feng and talking, couldn't help but look happy. Knowing that it was Wen Ziyan's master who had arrived, she hurriedly pulled Guan Lei aside. When she saw Guan Lei Qianye Shenni was stunned again. Then he stared at Guan Lei in a daze. The calm expression on his face also showed some changes. Some were sighing, some recalling, or melancholy.
Seeing Qianye Shenni suddenly in a daze, Yang Ning and others couldn't help but feel strange. They followed her gaze and found that the person she had been looking at was Guan Lei. And Guan Lei was usually looked at like this. With his reckless and fiery temper, he might have become angry a long time ago. But facing this old nun with a calm demeanor, Guan Lei felt an inexplicable huge pressure in his heart. It made him stunned that he had a temper but could not express it.
"Master, Master, you...what's wrong with you, old man?" One of the middle-aged disciples behind Qianye Shenni shouted softly. The middle-aged female nun's name was Huixin, and the other one was named Huizhen.
Only then did Qianye Shenni wake up from his deep thoughts and replied: "It's okay for me to be a master."
After saying that, everyone felt their eyes blurred. The figure of Qianye Shenni disappeared out of thin air. The next moment, he had moved in front of Guan Lei. Without saying a word, he stamped on Guan Lei's chest with a light palm. The speed was faster than lightning. Everyone present had no time to react. It was so fast that Yang Ning's brainwaves only had time to say "Senior, have mercy", but it had not yet reached his mouth.
Guan Lei's reaction was surprisingly fast. He felt uncomfortable being stared at just now. Under Qianye Shenni's blow, his anger completely burst out. Without enough time to curse, Guan Lei stretched out his fist and hit Qianye Shenni. He greeted him with his palm, because at this moment he knew in his heart that Qianye Shenni's palm looked light and weak, but the skill contained in it was extremely powerful. What made him even more strange was that Qianye Shenni's palm The palm seemed to make him fall into a strong net, making him unable to move or dodge. There was only one option, and that was to confront someone head-on. His reaction was very fast. Therefore, he punched up. After this Some time ago, the old monk fell in love. Although Guan Lei at this moment is young, he is far from the Guan Lei who was kicked away by Deng Qiancheng that day.
puff.
There was a muffled sound. The two fists connected. The curtain beside Yue Feng's bed swayed slightly. Qianye Shenni did not move at all. However, Guan Lei stepped back a few steps and sat down on the bed. He sat on a chair. He was slightly stunned. He looked at his fists. Then he looked at Qianye Shenni blankly. Then he came back to his senses. He couldn't help but roared. He stood up and wanted to fight Qianye Shenni again. .
"Guan Lei stop."
Yang Ning shouted loudly. Guan Lei's furious figure suddenly stopped and looked at Yang Ning in confusion.
"This is the senior expert I invited to treat Yue Feng's foot injury... Qianye Shenni. Don't be rude."
"But, but she hit me first..." Guan Lei said angrily.
Yang Ning glanced at Qianye Shenni and then said to Guan Lei: "Silly boy, don't you understand? Just now, the Shenni came to test your martial arts. If the Shenni deliberately took your life, do you think you can still stand now? Do you want to talk to me? Come forward and see the nun quickly. Apologize to the nun."
Guan Lei pinched his neck. "I don't. She moved first. Why should I apologize?"
"You..." Yang Ning was furious for a moment. This bastard, since he went to Longfu Temple to become an old monk's apprentice, his temper has become worse and worse, and his mind has become more and more confused. I don't know if it's because of the recent incident. The ink is black. The old monk, who is fat and fat and only knows how to eat and drink, has led him astray.
"Haha. Okay, Eunuch Yang, don't blame him anymore. This matter is indeed the poor nun's fault. It should be the poor nun who apologizes to this little friend." Qianye Shenni smiled and said to Yang Ning. After saying that, it turned out to be true. He said to Guan Lei: "My little friend, the poor nun just couldn't bear it. But the poor nun has no ill intentions towards you. It's just because of your martial arts skills. It reminds the poor nun of an old friend. The poor nun and him are afraid that something will happen. Haven’t seen it for decades.”
Yang Ning's heart moved. Hearing Qianye Shenni's words, could it be that the "old friend" she was talking about was the old monk she had secretly scolded just now? Seeing how she looked so sad about the past, and looking at her age, could it be that she and the old monk…….
No way. A monk, a nun... maybe that was before they became monks. But look at this Qianye Shenni. She must have been a beautiful child when she was young. And look at the figure of the old monk. She is still so old. He is so fat. How could he be so thin when he was young? How could he fall in love with this Chiba Shinni...
Hmm. I have to go back and ask the old monk. Now I finally caught the old monk’s romantic background. I can’t help but make this old guy so embarrassed.
