Fanke Mountain is a pure place for Buddhism. There are 5,700 stone steps in total. The mountain is steep and towering into the clouds. It is covered with clouds and fog all year round, and the stone steps are slippery and cannot be stepped on. Pilgrims who want to burn incense and pray for blessings often need to wait patiently for a while at the foothill inn and choose a good day with less wind and fog, suitable for climbing before setting off.
There is only one inn at the foot of the mountain, and it has been expanded more than twenty times, but it still cannot meet the needs of guests. Therefore, every room in the inn is precious and the price is surprisingly high. For this reason, many of the people who come to Mount Fanke to burn incense and pray for blessings are from wealthy families with a lot of money. Of course, there are also many politically frustrated officials who want to climb mountains to burn incense and pray to Bodhisattva to bless them.
The previous dynasty destroyed Buddhism everywhere, so Buddhism suffered greatly and was not as prosperous as Confucianism and Taoism. Fanke Mountain is a blessed place for Buddhism, and was designated by the imperial court as a place for orthodox Buddhism, so it is very popular. Guiliu heard from his mother that the old abbot of Fanke Temple was more than 200 years old and getting younger every year. This was a sign that he had reached the state of returning to his true nature after understanding Buddhism. Compared with ordinary warriors, people from the three religions are often not good at fighting even if their realm is the same. But the strength of this old abbot cannot be underestimated. According to what my mother said, he is very likely to be ranked among the top five in the world, or even higher.
There are many such hidden masters in the world. Therefore, most of the masters in martial arts reviews are just looking at it for fun. Who knows if there is anyone better than you in this world? For example, the one who is number one in the world in terms of martial arts thinks he is invincible, and his arrogance is so high that he wants to fight against the gods. The results of it? A few days ago, I was asked about swordsmanship and had one arm cut off. My level dropped, and my martial arts evaluation position dropped directly to fifth place. The person who asked about the sword was none other than Zhao Bingnie, who was on his way to Fengdu to ask about the sword. So, even if Wu Ping says you are the best in the world, you may not necessarily be the best in the world. There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. A great hermit is hidden in the city. Maybe a wine shop clerk is an invincible existence in the world? Just like an inconspicuous old escort, he can easily surpass the best in the world.
The next direction is very clear, first go to Shuanghua City, and then go to Fanke Mountain next to the city.
After sleeping in the inn for a night, and guided by the Qingpao Taoist, Guiliu returned to Guanma Avenue easily. Continuing all the way south to Shuanghua City, four or five days passed in the blink of an eye, sleeping in the open air with dusty clothes. Finally, at dusk of the day, I saw the towering city wall of Shuanghua City in the distance. The scale of this city is far larger than Qingqian City and Green Belt City. Apart from Gyeonggi, it can be said to be the largest city in the north. Weeping willows are planted all over the city, and when frost comes in winter and autumn, the city is covered with ice flowers, hence the name frost flower.
After the Plague Prince caused trouble in Greenbelt City and Qingqian City one after another, the prefects in various places were all on guard, and they would exchange news whenever there was any trouble. On this day, the prefect of Shuanghua City was drinking tea leisurely as usual, when he suddenly received the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was about to enter the city. He immediately felt a tremor in his body. He lost his grip and the century-old purple clay teapot fell to pieces. He crawled and rolled and hurriedly changed into his official uniform, as if he was going to perform a pilgrimage. After changing his clothes, he took more than a hundred of his men with him and hurriedly came to the city gate to wait.
When the people entering and leaving the city and the soldiers guarding saw this scene, they were all surprised and bewildered. Why would His Majesty the Emperor come to such a big battle in person?
But it's almost the same, it's not His Majesty but His Highness, it's His Highness the Crown Prince who leads the horse into the city.
The huge crowd suddenly tore apart from the middle, and a wide road appeared. The next second, everyone knelt down with a plop. The sound was so deafening that Wang Sizhi almost fell off his horse in fright.
"Welcome His Royal Highness to the city!!"
The white-haired man led the white horse and walked past the crowd with an expressionless face. A woman with peerless beauty sat on the horse, holding a white cat in her arms, a little shocked.
Without saying a word to the prefect, His Royal Highness entered the city.
After choosing the inn, they put the snowball down. Gui Liu and Wang Sizhi went to eat dumplings nearby. It was already time to light the lamp when they walked out of the shop. Gui Liu was tired for a day and wanted to go back to the inn to rest. He made up his mind to have a good meal. "Xiao Si Zhi" ". How could Wang Sizhi not know his little thoughts and refuse to go back no matter what, so Guiliu had no choice but to hang out with her.
There were many snacks along the road, and Wang Sizhi was attracted by the food. Seeing her greedy expression, she refused to move, so Guiliu bought one. In the end, she only ate a few, and he had to deal with the rest. She wanted to try the candied haws again, but Gui Liu was smarter this time and told her that she had to eat all the sugar haws after buying it. She nodded and agreed without hesitation, but the result was the same as the Dachao fire, she only tasted a few and then stopped eating. . As a result, Geiliu had just finished a few bowls of dumplings and had to clean up the mess for her, and he couldn't hold on anymore.
Wang Sizhi stopped again and lay down to look at the sugar paintings, looking at them very seriously. Seeing that the sugar paintings were bought, she subconsciously looked at Gui Liu and blinked.
Fortunately, it is no longer a piece of cake that is burned, it is just a sugar painting, which I can barely eat.
Gui Liu paid the copper coins bravely, and when he saw that she was happily holding the candy painting, without eating it, and with no intention of giving it to him, she just tilted her head and looked back and forth, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you want to eat steamed buns, I'll buy them for you. If you want to eat candied haws, I'll buy them for you. As for me, I just want to eat you once, will you give it to me?"
Wang Sizhi blushed and whispered: "No."
"I've let you go twice, but I can't help you today."
Guiliu had already bent down, and was about to carry Wang Sizhi back and forcefully put on the bow. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of a brightly lit shop, and he happily took her hand and walked away.
It turned out to be a wealthy and elegant jewelry store, with candlesticks hung everywhere on the painted walls, making the hairpins shine brilliantly. No woman would object to the abundance of jewelery and gouache. Wang Sizhi chose each piece of jewelery very carefully. She stopped in front of each piece of jewelery and walked past it again after a long time. For a long time, Gui Liu did not rush her, but just waited quietly.
She carefully picked up the pair of gold hairpins and couldn't help but whisper to herself: "It's so beautiful."
Guiliu came close to her and hummed softly: "It looks like it's not gilded, but pure gold, and it looks good."
Wang Sizhi hesitated.
Guiliu could see that she really wanted to buy it, and he also knew why she hesitated. He bumped her lightly with his shoulder and pretended to be dissatisfied: "Look down on me? From now on, the whole world will be mine, not to mention a pair of gold hairpins." What? Even if you want the stars, I will try my best to pick them for you."
Guiliu suddenly smiled happily and took her hand directly, "But you are gentle and considerate, and know how to be diligent and thrifty in housekeeping. You are simply the most desired girl in the hearts of all men. My mother will definitely like you very much. Not to mention my dad, he would be so happy if I just brought one home."
Being praised like this, Wang Sizhi immediately blushed and wanted to cover it up, so he quickly changed the subject, "It's just these gold hairpins, let's go."
Paying the bill only cost a few gold ingots, and then Gui Liu couldn't wait to give Wang Sizhi a hairpin. The golden hairpin with tassels on its tail makes a sound with every step, like crisp jade pieces, making this eighth most beautiful woman in the world even more attractive.
Everyone marveled at the beauty of this golden lady. Amid countless envious glances, Guiliu took her hand and they walked out of the shop together.
"Where should we go next? Do you have to go back to the inn and let me eat you?"
Gui Liu narrowed his eyes and smiled, with evil intentions, and quickly added: "I can accompany you until you are tired and want to go back to rest."
Wang Sizhi snorted and looked up at him.
In the dim light, she was so beautiful and moving. The night wind passed by, and the sound of the golden hairpin with tassels seemed to have crashed into his heart, rippling softly, and his heart seemed to be crushed.
No time can be as beautiful as this moment.
"You stand here and wait for me."
After he finished speaking, without even waiting for her reply, he turned around and ran all the way back to the inn. His mouth is dry now, his heart is hot, and he is extremely nervous.
He ran all the way back to the inn and returned to the room. He carefully took out the faded ebony box from his luggage, opened it and took a look. He stood up with relief and took a deep breath, trying to stabilize his mind.
This man was so nervous for the first time in his life, and his heart was beating fast.
The brightly lit jewelry building was somehow filled with people, on three floors inside and three outside, and everyone was talking about it.
"Who is that golden hairpin girl? The enemy is here?"
"I have pity on such a beautiful girl."
"Oh, it's so miserable."
After running all the way back from the inn and not seeing Wang Sizhi waiting there, Guiliu suddenly felt extremely uneasy and pushed his way through the crowd, bumping and squeezing until he finally squeezed to the front.
"Wang Sizhi!!"
Gui Liu's eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed forward like crazy, hugging her tightly in his arms.
A sword penetrated his chest, and there was a shocking pool of blood on the ground.
She was as angry as a thread, as if she would die in the next second.
"Don't die! Don't die! Wang Sizhi, wake up! Wake up!!"
There was no reaction from her in his arms.
On the main road along the central axis of the city, a man was running like crazy, as if he didn't want to, his white hair was dancing wildly, and his violent aura was like a murderous god.
"Don't sleep, don't sleep!"
He cried hoarsely, "Wang Sizhi, wake up quickly, wake up quickly, do you want to see your father, do you want to go home with me?"
"I beg you, please wake up, please wake up, I beg you, please."
He cried and cried until his waist fell.
But she could no longer hear from behind.
The only thing that could be felt was the wet, hot blood soaking through a large area.
This white-haired man didn't know that she had been dead for a long time on his back.
He didn't dare to know.
That night, there was a crazy white-haired man climbing a mountain.
He was so violent that even the old abbot who was far away felt frightened.
She would never see her dad again.
He could never take her home again.
The blood on her back had dried up and was already cold.
