The days on Mount Wutai are more quiet and leisurely than those of 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 and chant silently and whisper 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 monks' lectures. Believe it or not is one thing, but listening to their soft and comfortable sutras, the mood will indeed be much calmer.
Lin Ting, in particular, although the rivers and lakes have improved his mood a lot in the past few months, he still feels guilty about the people who died in the battle for seizures. Now when he comes to Wutai Mountain, he kneels in front of the Buddha most of the time. Pray.
The eminent monk said that often chanting the mantra of rebirth can save the soul 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 Royal Highness has a good relationship with the Buddha, it's better to convert to Buddhism." Lin Ting's personality was originally a Buddha. .
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 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 Wutai Mountain, I will return to the palace. I will catch a monkey in advance and raise it. It must be good to have Lin Ting by his side. I will not 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 the 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 knelt down and took out the apple prepared in advance. The little monkey jumped directly into his hand, holding the apple and gnawing. Lin Ting hugged it in his arms. It didn't resist at all. 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 smiled and teased the little monkey. He turned around 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 he is very easy to raise.
The climate in the mountains changes faster than down the mountain. Lin Feilu's ten sets of autumn clothes have not been worn in turns, and the mountains seem to be in winter suddenly.
The queen mother escorted her to the fire and said: "When it really snows in 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 essential 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 the **** and 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 ran over and opened the window.
The sight is full of white snow, and Wutai Mountain, which is already quiet, 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 **** 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, "Emperor Grandmother, Brother Da Huang, 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 too nervous: "What the **** happened? 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, you can see for yourself."
She hurried over to take the letter.
From this look, I knew what happened.
Emperor Lin finally used troops against Song State.
Just like Lin Ting's analysis before, instead of watching Song Guo gradually grow bigger, it is better to take advantage of it and take the initiative to attack.
However, this use of troops was not an all-out troop dispatch, but a small-scale trial by Emperor Lin.
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 the Song and Lin countries. However, because of the trade between the two countries, a trade city no less than the scale of the prefecture has been formed. Although dangerous, it is very prosperous.
With such a developed business, tax and silver are naturally a considerable 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 did not belong to the Song Kingdom may have been let out directly, and he 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 to her.
But fortunately, this is only a small-scale trial 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 eagerly waiting for the letter to be delivered.
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 several times and finally drew a tie. No one succeeded. Each retreated to the territory and Liberty City kept its freedom.
This is the best result in Lin Feilu's eyes, and it may be 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 once 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 State was caused by the current emperor's licentious political affairs. They once dominated the Central Plains, the Dalin Gaozu fought with the Song army and was defeated in the Huaiye.
People who have been wolves will not really become dogs.
Once this once 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 trot back with Kongkong and handed the letter to Lin Ting.
After reading it, he sighed, "I am afraid it will not 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. 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 is also the first time for Lin Feilu to spend the New Year outside the palace, and she also took the queen mother to cut the window grilles and paste the couplets. In the clean place of Buddhism, the fireworks and firecrackers cannot 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 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 dim and beautiful. Lin Feilu couldn't help but think of Qi Xi night when she and Song Jinglan watched the picture of Qi Tian Lan 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 light gradually dimmed and was about to go out without flying high.
Before it was completely extinguished, Lin Feilu quickly 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 of your future life, 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 healthy."
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 a few Qi Tian Lanterns finally went out and were blown towards the valley by the wind.
