Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 411 410. Four People, Five People, Six or Seven People

Although I don't understand what the trick of "seeing the Buddha in bloom" is, Li Zhen always feels that...

Master, this is not a waste of time.

Came all the way here just to plant a tree for our old Li?
This method... In all honesty, Li Zhen thinks it's quite powerful.

Wow, that's great, Master is really annoying...

But the question is, is your old man too blind to see?

The location of the branch is right next to the couplet I hung.It's just under "Listen to circumflex praise and criticism, there are often people with books in the seat".

If the peach branch grows into a tree, this half of the plaque will definitely disappear.

Ho!
Thinking about it this way, this bald donkey has evil in his heart!
The door of the library recruiting people is half covered, isn't this scolding the storyteller for his incompetence!And if the peach tree germinates and its rhizome arches... won't this half of the courtyard wall also collapse?
That Pindao library...isn't that what it is?

Bald ass!

You take the bamboo shoots!

Li Laodao felt a little bad.

But looking at the white and tender air roots under the branch, it's not easy to pull them out at the moment.Otherwise, if the tree was injured again, it might not survive.

Well, whatever.

It's all about talking and laughing, last time I felt angry in my stomach, and when I got angry, I even scolded him.No matter what this time, you have to be more polite.

Otherwise, our old Li doesn't understand the rules.

What about the rules?
Be polite.

The habits of the old Yanjing people have to be shown:
"Mage, have you eaten yet?"

As soon as he said this, he suddenly wanted to give himself a mouth...

As the soup in the pot boiled, the smell of soy beans mixed with meat had wafted through the whole courtyard.

Is it that everyone can smell the stewed meat, but I ask "have you eaten" in front of a monk?
This……

Hey!This monk is too bad, with a bad heart!

Originally a little Taoist priest with red lips and white jade face, the Taoist heart influenced by him abruptly collapsed into a bastard!

Li Zhen, whose eyes were full of speechlessness, hurried to remedy, shaking his head:

"Today, Pindao had a get-together with friends... Although there is some stewed meat in the pot, there are some fresh mushrooms at home..."

"Thank you, Daoist, but the poor monk is so disrespectful."

Seemingly not feeling any offense, the benevolent monk nodded and was about to go inside.

"..."

The corner of Li Zhen's mouth twitched again.

But he still stepped aside and made a gesture of beckoning:

"……Please."

……

"..."

"..."

Du Ruhui and Qin Qiong were actually quite speechless.

It was clearly agreed that the three would farewell, so why did it become a four-player mahjong?

But this time people came in, out of emotion and reason, this is the Taoist leader, if it is impolite, it will be a shame to refute the Taoist leader.

They all stood up to salute.

The name of Xuanzang became famous in Luoyang City after the year. Although the Taoist leader didn't seem to be cold, he was the shadow of the tree of life.The meaning of compassion in Buddhism is real, without any pretense.

Although Buddhism has been oppressed by Taoism these days, speaking from the heart, at least from Du Ruhui's point of view, the entry point of the belief of "cultivating this life and preparing for the next life" of Buddhism is, for ordinary people, quieter than that of Taoism Doing nothing, cultivating both life and soul, regarding the body as a treasure ship, and the mind as the boatman, the esoteric truth of reaching the other shore should be more straightforward.

To put it simply, the lethality of "suffering in this life and doing good deeds, and reaping rewards and enjoying blessings in the next life" is really not so great for ordinary people.

The more bitter people are, the more this is the case.

I'm afraid that if it wasn't for the generation of national teachers who suppressed the world and lifted the backbone of the Taoist sect, then the Buddhist sect might have been latecomers.

And the arrival of the most outstanding disciple from the Bodhi Chanyuan's three gods and monks, because of love, it must be a good relationship.Yu Li, if the other party is really such a noble character, it will be a good thing for the common people in the world.

So be the first to greet:

"I, Du Ruhui, have met Master Xuanzang."

The monk in white smiled softly and modestly:

"The poor monk Xuanzang, counting this time with Du Shizhu, is also a three-way relationship."

"..."

A trace of surprise flashed in Du Ruhui's eyes.

indeed.

For the first time, it was he who went to listen to the scriptures.

The second time was by the river just now.

And now... for the third time.

Master Xuanzang will remember himself?He didn't think so.

Then thinking about it... it might be some kind of supernatural power of the other party.

After thinking this through, he nodded:
"It is true that I have a relationship with the mage on three occasions. I am being rude."

Xuanzang also nodded with a smile, and then his eyes fell on Qin Qiong.

The second brother is relatively simple and rude.

"A certain Qin Shubao."

Not even tell you the name.

I have to give my buddy some face.

After hearing this, Li Laodao gave the second brother a big praise, but he still added:
"Don't blame the mage, brother Shubao is straightforward."

"The poor monk dare not."

Xuanzang shook his head, his eyes were still warm:
"I came here rashly today, and I was lucky enough to meet three of you. I hope you don't blame the poor monk."

This is still polite.

But it could be said that the second brother can deal with him.

Go straight, without so many twists and turns.Although Li Laodao's easing intentions have been heard, but out of love for Wu and Wu's comrades, he still said:
"Maybe the mage is drinking?"

"..."

Du Ruhui couldn't help turning his head to look at Qin Qiong.

The corner of Li Zhen's mouth twitched.

But Xuanzang shook his head and said with a smile:

"Amitabha, the kindness of Qin's benefactor, and the heart of the poor monk. It's just that wine and meat are all meat, and monks should not be contaminated."

"Then let's drink tea."

Before Qin Qiong could speak, Li Zhen spoke directly.

At the same time, she gave Qin Qiong a look...

Second brother, let's stop making trouble.

Anyway, the visitor is a guest, so let's save face.

Qin Qiong understood it, and so did Du Ruhui.So, Lao Du helped out with a sentence:
"I just hope that the mage won't dislike the rough tea of ​​the three of us."

While speaking, he also signaled Qin Qiong with his eyes.

"..."

Qin Qiong turned his eyes and pointed to the empty table next to him:

"I was just about to drink, but there is quite a lot of meat here. If the mage doesn't mind, let's sit over there."

Seeing that the two of them "warned" him so much, the second brother stopped messing around and gave Xuanzang a step up.

Therefore, the guest can follow the host.

The three sat down first, and Li Zhen took some mushrooms from the table where the mushrooms were placed, and looked at the noodles in the basin.

When a monk came, the dishes had to be cooked separately.

The three eat meat, and the monk... just eat mushroom noodle soup.

The delicacies are delicious and the noodles are firm.

Should not be bad.

After sorting the mushrooms, Du Ruhui also put a pot of freshly brewed tea on the side, and Qin Qiong's side also had wine.

Dried fruits and beans were also placed on the table.

Li Zhen sat down.

At this moment, it is also evening and setting sun.

It will probably be dark soon.

It is time for the people who get off work according to the sunrise and rest at the end of the day, and they are in the small courtyard outside the beast pen.Sitting together at this square table with one man, one man, and one monk... It is rare that there is nothing to talk about.

Think about it too.

What do monks and priests talk about?
Talk about a bloodbath?
The monk said that there was a bloody disaster for the priest, and the Taoist figured it out, and the monk also turned black...

Then don't ask, the two of them will definitely be beaten to death today, and there is only one person who can walk out standing up.

What can literati and warriors talk about?
Haven't you heard that a scholar can't explain clearly when he meets a soldier?
Although the two of them could chat, the scale of what they said today rested with Li Zhen.

Earlier, Li Zhen told Qin Qiong that Du Ruhui and himself are close friends, and our buddies are also bosom brothers.

There is nothing we can't talk about.

Speak freely.

And the three of them talked about the war just now, and the disaster in the east of the river that was about to happen.

In and out of the words, there are actually some "disrespectful" words that can only be heard in person, but cannot be spread outside.

Who dares to talk about this in front of a "stranger"?

That's head-scratching.

So for a while... the atmosphere was really stiff.

What Lao Du and the second brother think, I don't know yet.But Lao Li was really embarrassed.

But Xuanzang, who had always shown compassion on his face, spoke:

"Master Shouchu, the poor monk has something he doesn't understand."

"Uh……"

Li Zhen, who was wondering whether everyone should have a drink together first to ease the awkward atmosphere, was taken aback.

I heard a sentence from the monk next to me:
"Does the Taoist priest have any research on Buddhist scriptures?"

"..."

Li Zhen was obviously a little surprised... I thought, big brother, why do you expect Sanqing to hack my unworthy descendant to death?
I'm a Taoist priest... I don't even study my own scriptures, why should I study your stuff.

So he shook his head:

"I don't know anything."

Hearing this, let's not talk about the expressions of Qin Qiong and Du Ruhui.

Just talking about Xuanzang seems quite unexpected, but it seems to be reasonable.

Then, without waiting for Li Zhen to ask, he answered on his own:
"The poor monk has read Dao Zang through."

"..."

The corner of Li Zhen's mouth twitched again...

It's over.

to lose

And just when Li Laodao was about to "doomed forever", someone suddenly stood up.

Du Ruhui looked at the monk and said:
"Master Xuanzang, monks should not lie."

Wen Run's eyes fell on the scholar, with compassion:
"Amitabha, why does Master Du feel that the poor monk is lying?"

As soon as the question was finished, Du Ruhui shook his head:

"Since the master said to read it thoroughly, then we can know that "Tao Cang" is not a scripture? "Tao Cang" is a Taoist book from the Zhou and Qin Dynasties and a Taoist classic since the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties. There are no less than a thousand books. I can't finish reading it. The master is a disciple of the three gods and monks in the Bodhi Temple. Don't you practice Buddhist scriptures and understand Buddhist principles on weekdays?"

This is just one meaning.

Just blow it.

Our old Du doesn't believe it.

But who knows that just after he finished speaking, the monk nodded:

"Yes, Daozang is naturally not a single scripture. To be precise, it is the "Three Caves" and "Four Supplements". Starting with the "Zangshu" collected by Zheng Yin in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there are more than [-] volumes in total. Later In the Southern Dynasties and Song Dynasties—Lu Jingxiu, a Taoist priest, compiled the "Tao Cang", which is about a thousand and five in number. Reading through the Daozang, this statement is not half false."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Now, let alone Li Zhen and Du Ruhui.

Qin Qiong was a little numb.

Three years, more than 1000 volumes?

Qin Qiongxin said that I didn't kill so many people...

In this silence, Du Ruhui frowned:
"how so?"

The monk lowered his brows and put his hands together:
"Make a great wish, revitalize Buddhism, and save all sentient beings!"

"..."

"..."

Li Zhen and Qin Qiong were speechless again.

It is speechless in the true sense.

Don't care what Li Laodao's position is...just listening to this sentence, he felt in his heart...Brother Yudi...is a ruthless person.

But the two of them were speechless, but suddenly heard a sentence:
"absurd!"

The scholar glared:

"Read Dao Zang through to revitalize Buddhism? You mix the two into one. Is it possible that you are using the meaning of Dao Zang to imitate the ancients and compete with Taoism?! What a wicked monk! Do you know that, The ups and downs of Buddhism and Taoism are inseparable from the emperor's love, hatred, relatives and hatred, and the losers will suffer the doom of destruction every time! Have you forgotten that during the time of Wu Zhou and Wei Wu, because of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, your Buddhist scriptures and temples were burned overnight The consequences of this!? You, a monk... do you still plan to take advantage of the precarious situation..."

"Old Du!"

In an instant, Li Zhen interrupted his words.

"..."

Du Ruhui also realized his slip of the tongue, and stopped in time.

But a pair of eyes were already staring at the monk, full of anger.

And when he got angry, Qin Qiong's eyes gradually became unfriendly.

The world of warriors is very simple.

If you touch my buddy, it's like touching me.

Originally, today I thought you were here to spoil the scene, to give you face and let you sit down, but now you are kicking your nose in the face, right?
For a while, both civil and military officials showed serious expressions.

But facing the eyes of the two, Xuanzang remained silent, as if he hadn't heard, and fixed his eyes on Li Zhen's face.

It seems to be looking for something.

but……

This gaze only stayed for a moment, and the next moment, including Li Zhen, the four of them turned their heads in unison and looked at the door.

Someone... here again.

It's not alone.

but three.

Only this time he didn't even knock on the door.

Seeing that the door was ajar and unlocked, he pushed it open.

When Hongying reappeared with two children, a man and a woman, she was still wearing the official palace attire.After pushing the door open, the footsteps suddenly stopped...

in the main hall.

The heat is billowing.

At the table next to Heat, four people, one monk, one Wen and one Wu... stared straight at her.

"How did you come?"

Li Zhen got up subconsciously, ignoring the boy behind Hongying who was averting his gaze, and the girl with different pupils, and asked Hongying.

"Uh……"

Obviously, Hongying didn't expect there to be so many people in Chunyou Club.

She knew Qin Qiong, but not the scholar.

As for the monk...

Huh?
Isn't that the Xuanzang who has made countless people yearn for in the name of great compassion in Luoyang these days?

Why is he here?

Doubts arose in her heart.

But once these doubts met the Taoist's eyes, they were all forgotten.

What am I here for?
It's very simple.

Your lord servant does not allow us to contact you again... There may be only one reason why I disobeyed orders again and again.

That's it.

But he didn't say anything, just tilted his head:

"Wen Guan, come and make amends to Mister."

Hearing this, the boy who was still throwing stones at Li Zhen in the afternoon looked a little nervous, but he still took a step forward and bowed his hands:

"Zhang Wenguan, I have offended you this afternoon, so I can't apologize to you! Please don't blame me, I will serve you wholeheartedly in the future. Please forgive me!"

"..."

Li Zhen couldn't move the corner of her mouth this time.

Just smoked too much.

numb.
