Chapter 105: A man worthy of his conscience
Seeing that Qiao Feng really worshiped "Bai Xiaosheng" as his teacher, everyone was in disbelief and thought it was extremely absurd. There were also many people who immediately despised him.
Fang Muye didn't care about other people's reactions, he laughed heartily and said: "Haha, good disciple, get up quickly." As he said that, he stretched out his hand to help Qiao Feng up.
After Qiao Feng stood up, he turned to Duan Yu, saluted and said, "Qiao Feng has met senior brother."
Duan Yu was stunned for a moment, then he smiled sheepishly and said: "Junior brother, there is no need to be polite." Although it was sudden, he was very happy to have an additional junior brother.
Qiao Feng smiled at him, then turned to Fang Muye, clasped his fists and bowed deeply, and said, "Master, please tell me your disciple's life experience."
Before Fang Muye could say anything, a man's voice suddenly sounded from the crowd: "Gang Leader Qiao, since he has become your master, he will naturally cover up your identity, so why do you need to ask more questions!"
Everyone looked up and saw that the person speaking was none other than Quan Guanqing of the Beggar Clan. After thinking about it carefully, they thought what he said was very reasonable. Since this "Bai Xiaosheng" has become Qiao Feng's master, and he is very close to him, it is natural that he is
He wanted to help his apprentice. Even if he knew, how could he really tell the truth?
Fang Muye took a deep look at Quan Guanqing, sneered, and said: "The heart of a villain can only judge the heart of a gentleman."
Quan Guanqing is the helmsman of the Dazhi branch of the Beggar Clan, and he is also very famous in the world. Now he heard Fang Muye mocking him to his face, referring to him as a villain, and his face immediately became angry, but he couldn't figure out Fang Muye after all.
The bottom line is, I don’t dare to have an attack.
The rest of the people generally felt that Fang Muye was arrogant and that everyone should consider their face when traveling in the world. This "Bai Xiaosheng" behavior was different from the truth.
Fang Muye looked at the angry Quan Guanqing and said nonchalantly: "I call you a 'villain'. You must be extremely dissatisfied, but whether I am or not, you know it in your heart. Don't be anxious. I will take care of your affairs."
We will talk about it later, and the right and wrong will be decided by ourselves at that time."
When Quan Guanqing heard the words, his eyes flickered and he said nothing. Everyone was curious about the meaning of Fang Muye's words and waited for him to elaborate later.
Fang Muye turned his attention to Master Zhiguang, took two steps towards him, then gave him a slight salute and said with a smile: "Master Zhiguang, we meet again."
Master Zhiguang glanced at Fang Muye, with a slightly strange expression on his face. He put his hands together in a salute and said, "I have met Donor Fang. The Donor said before that we would meet again by fate, so it turned out that we were supposed to be here."
Fang Muye smiled and nodded: "Master, please forgive me for any offence!"
Then he said in a sonorous voice: "When Feng'er was one year old, he and his wife went to her grandmother's house for a banquet. On the way, they suddenly encountered a Southern Dynasty robber. Things happened in a hurry. His wife and children were killed by the robber, and I did not want to live again. Yu's mentor was a Han from the Southern Dynasty.
I swore in front of my teacher that I would not be enemies of the Han people, let alone kill the Han people. Little did I know that today I killed more than ten people at once. I am ashamed and painful, and I will not be able to see my mentor after death. Xiao Yuanshan's last work."
When everyone heard Fang Muye suddenly say these nonsense words, most of them were surprised, but there were also smart people who guessed what he said.
Fang Muye looked at Master Zhiguang and asked: "Master must not forget the inscriptions on the stone wall outside Yanmen Pass. I wonder if there is anything wrong with what Fang just said?"
When Master Zhiguang listened to Fang Muye's narration of the wall text, his expression changed. When Fang Muye finished speaking, his expression was gloomy. He couldn't help but think of the events of the past again, feeling guilty and uneasy in his heart.
Hearing Fang Muye's question, Master Zhiguang sighed and said, "What Donor Fang said is correct." Although he was surprised, he did not ask Fang Muye why he knew.
Fang Muye turned to Qiao Feng and said: "Feng'er, you are indeed a Khitan. Xiao Yuanshan is your father. Your original name is Xiao Feng. Master Zhiguang and the others kept your original name because they were entrusted to the Qiao family to raise you.
It took their last name, so I called him Qiao Feng."
Qiao Feng glanced at Master Zhiguang's expression, trembled, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: It turns out that I am really a Khitan! It turns out that my name is Xiao Feng, not Qiao Feng!
The national surname of the Liao Kingdom was Yelu, and the queens of the past generations were all surnamed Xiao. The Xiao family descended from generation to generation and filled the dynasty with generals and ministers. They were extremely powerful in the Liao Kingdom. Sometimes the Liao lord was young and the Empress Dowager Xiao was in power, making the Xiao family even more powerful.
Xiao Feng suddenly learned that he was a Khitan. For a moment, he had mixed feelings and was lost in thought for a long time.
I thought about the content of the wall text that Master said again, and realized the pain my biological father felt at that time, and realized that he committed suicide by throwing himself off a cliff. Not only was his wife and children tragically killed because of his heartbreak, but he also killed many Han people because he broke his oath.
Feeling ashamed to face his master, Xiao Feng's eyes couldn't help but become wet, and his mind was in chaos.
"This is the truth! No wonder Master Zhiguang said that my biological parents died unjustly and that they were sorry for my biological parents."
Xiao Feng was in a haze when he heard Master's bold voice again: "Feng'er, when a man walks in the world, he should look up to the sky, bow down to the earth, and be worthy of the heart. It doesn't matter whether he is a Khitan or a Han. This
Zhao Qiansun just said something in the dialogue, "The Han people are not necessarily superior to others, and the Khitans are not necessarily inferior to pigs and dogs." People in the Song Dynasty only thought that the Khitans were ferocious and cruel and tortured the Han people, but if you go to the border between Song and Liao, you will see that
The officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty massacred the old, weak, women and children of the Khitan, but they treated them like pigs and dogs. Feng'er, there are good people and bad people everywhere. Even if you are a Khitan, you can still be a man who stands upright."
"Just like your Majesty, although he was a Khitan, he advised the Lord of Liao to make peace with the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty and Liao Dynasty did not engage in war. The soldiers and civilians of the two countries survived for an unknown number of lives. They neither lost soldiers nor spent too much military food. The people had enough food and clothing.
, live and work in peace and contentment. Your Majesty has the common people in the world at heart, is benevolent to the two countries, and has immeasurable merit. He is a great hero and a true man."
When Xiao Feng heard the first half of his master's words of comfort and persuasion, he felt a little touched in his heart. However, he had considered himself a Han for thirty years, and now he suddenly became a hostile Khitan. He was in trouble for a while, but he could not suddenly become enlightened in a short time.
After listening to the second half of Master's comments about his biological father, I felt shuddered and thought to myself: Who is my biological father? How could he be able to speak in the court of Liao Dynasty and influence national affairs? Such a person
Is this great hero who has benefited all people really a Khitan, and is he really my father?

At that time, the image of the Khitan people in the hearts of the Song people had long been transformed into demons and monsters, and their ideas were deeply ingrained. When the Song people talked about the Liao people, they wished they could eat their flesh and drink their blood. It can be said that everyone wanted to kill them.
Qiao Feng, as a Song Dynasty person, had grown up in this environment for thirty years, and was deeply affected by it. This is why when his Khitan identity was revealed, he was extremely reluctant and found it extremely difficult to accept it, even in his heart.
The reason for my low self-esteem is that I find it incredible that my biological father is such a virtuous and righteous man.
Not only him, but everyone present was also in disbelief, how could there be such a noble person among the Khitans as "Bai Xiaosheng" said.
I heard Master Zhiguang sigh and say: "Amitabha! Back then we personally killed a living Bodhisattva who benefited all peoples. It was indeed a big mistake and we were really shameless."
Seeing the sad look on Master Zhiguang's face, everyone was obviously brooding over this matter, and felt extremely ashamed. When his words confirmed that what Bai Xiaosheng said was true, they were in an uproar: Is there such a great hero among the Khitan people?
!
Xiao Feng felt sad in his heart and bowed to Fang Muye and said: "Master, today I know my name and my father's name. I have shown Master's kindness. I am deeply grateful. I beg Master to tell me who my father is and who was the leader outside Yanmen Pass back then."
Brother, who is he?"
Fang Muye helped Xiao Feng up and said, "Feng'er, there is no need to be polite between you and my master and disciple. If you want to know, my master will tell you."
Just as he was about to give Xiao Feng an answer, Master Zhiguang said suddenly and slowly: "My Buddha is merciful! Donor Fang, Donor Xiao, the elder brother who took the lead made a big mistake back then. He has been worried day and night for thirty years, fearing that the Liao soldiers would go south. He regretted and blamed himself.
You have been tortured and suffered a lot. In this world, it is better to dissolve grudges than to make them. Retaliating with grudges is meaningless. It is better to be calm and laugh it off."
What he meant was that he hoped that Fang Muye would not reveal his identity as the leader, and that Xiao Feng would not seek revenge. Of course, he respected the leader very much and did not want to damage his reputation, but he could not reveal this.
.
Fang Muye looked at Master Zhiguang and shook his head, sighing: "Master was so caught up in the situation that he thought he had forgotten that overturning one's own mistakes means committing one's mistakes. Whether one is overturning one's own mistakes or overturning others' mistakes, one is accumulating sinful karma.
If you did something wrong back then, you should repent and atone for it, but now you are still trying to hide it, where is Master's Buddha cultivation?"
Upon hearing this, Master Zhiguang fell silent and fell into deep thought.
