Chapter 112: The old worshiper is a temple, and the poor scholar Qu Shui talks about it
When he was not careful, Xu Zhihu inserted the peony on his head, and he was too lazy to pull it out. I thought of Miss Li Zi who claimed to live in the temple and the young monk Nanbei. I was stunned for a moment, and then I thought of the rumors about the old abbot of the Two Zen Temples. It is said that this old monk who was destined to be called his ancestor after his death as a holy monk was regarded as a holy monk in the world. He was very interesting and had very few literacy. When he was young, he just did some chopping wood and burning charcoal to support his mother. The people who bought wood believed in Buddhism and often read the Diamond Sutra. Over time, he realized something. After his mother passed away, he had just gone up the mountain to obtain the two robes and bowls of Tathagata, and was ordained as a monk and presided over the preaching of the Dharma. He completed it in one go. You should know that he is preaching the Dharma, not preaching. Although this has something to do with his poor background and not much literacy, this monk has no doubt that he has realized the truth and has followed the Great Buddha. He has learned all the Dharma after listening to the Vajra Sutra. The monks in the two Zen temples recite more than thousands of scriptures. But when he was discussing the scriptures with this monk, the monks said straight to the point that I had never read your sutra. Therefore, the monk just asked them to memorize the sutra, and often recited the word “stop”. Then he preached the Dharma with the other party, and everyone was convinced. The centenarian abbot of Fahua Temple, the largest temple in the south, asked the monk who was only forty years old at that time why he read the Lotus Sutra thousands of times but did not understand the meaning of the sutra. As a result, the old abbot memorized a few paragraphs, and the middle-aged monk began to tell the meaning of the sutra. The old abbot was enlightened and left with gratitude. It sounds like the world that it is simply amazing. It is impossible to imagine how a monk who can’t even read scriptures can save people. Even the immortal Qi from Longhu Mountain wants to see him. The two most outstanding figures of Buddhism and Taoism appeared at the same time in a lotus debate a hundred and six months ago, but the result was that everyone else was confused. The two just sat together without saying a word, and sat for the whole night.
That was the last time that the immortal Qi Xuanzhen appeared before ascending.
When this monk was no longer young and older, he never heard of him going to read and read scriptures. However, when his disciple, who had been seeking a book for fifteen years, came back, he asked the disciple to tell the scriptures for three days and three nights in a row. He nodded frequently, and finally, he risked the world’s ruthlessness to allow the monk in white to drink and get married. Later, he had an epiphany of deviance.
Xu Fengnian was shocked, and the tea spilled all over the floor, muttering to herself: “Li Donxin, a monk in white, is the girl Li Zi who lives in the temple since she was a child…”
The Taoist nun Xu Huipu had already seen that Xu Fengnian was not very interested in tasting tea, and this sprinkling was even more rude. She looked a little unhappy, but she didn’t say anything, but she never thought of pouring a second cup of tea for His Royal Highness the Prince. It seems that what the world says about the prince of Northern Liang is not exaggerated.
The sister Xu Shufei, who was originally expected to be favored by the harem, was suddenly shot into the cold palace, and Xu was already furious, but she, a widow, would not have taken her anger on Xu Zhihu like a family member. Last night, she got the inside story of His Royal Highness the Prince making trouble in the two counties, and she just laughed it off. Even the family asked her to use Xu Zhihu to approach His Royal Highness the Prince to explore the situation.The truth was that he did not nodded. He saw it with his own eyes today and was really disappointed. He was nothing more than bullying the king of Northern Liang’s family background. This is no different from the unsuccessful descendants of the four major clans of Yangzhou. Xu Hui glanced at Xu Zhihu who had the past been able to talk to him, and sighed in her heart.
The tea is not cold, but the atmosphere is much colder. It is no longer a matter of adding a few pieces of charcoal. Xu Zhihu seemed to be close to the ink, and he was not as clear as before. He just said that he wanted to visit Baoguo Temple with his younger brother again, so he left the Zen room.
Xu Hui pounced and sat quietly for a while, and waited for the group to leave, then slowly got up, walked out of the back door of the yard, and went straight to the tea mountain. After walking for a stick of incense, I finally saw a bamboo building with a bamboo chair under the eaves. An old man with snow-haired eyebrows was sitting on his knees with a lion cat with hair as snow as he was squatting. The old man stroked the cat’s head with his hands and sat upright looking at the distant mountains.
The old man stretched out his hand, and Xu Huipu sat upright on a small stool next to the bamboo chair. Before she could speak, the old man in his 80s smiled kindly, “I must have been disappointed when I came so early.”
Xu Huipu said softly, “Old the ancestors are clear about the world.”
The old man smiled and said, “Okay, since the prince cannot help him, he will inherit his inheritance, and we, the old guys, have all ended up relaxing.”
Xu Huipu knew his opinion well, and might be about to tug on the future pattern of the four wealthy families in Yangzhou. He said nervously, “If our ancestors ask for a test, I am afraid that I will misread it.”
The old man glanced at the Taoist nun, who was already a good person, was so scared that his delicate body trembled slightly. The old man touched the head of the lion cat and smiled and said, “What are you afraid of? Such a big burden will be borne by you, a little woman. That would be too despised by Yu Lian, Xu Gong, Lu Daolin, etc. Yangzhou is not as cold as this.”
Xu Hui’s face turned pale and did not dare to speak.
Yu Lian, Minister of Personnel, was the head of the Yu family in Jiangxin. Lu Daolin, head of the Lu family in Huting. General Longxiang Xu Gong, although he was not the head of the Gumu Xu family, was also a dynasty general holding military power. But these amazing and stunning Yangzhou bosses saw the ancestor in front of him, even if they were not as trembling as Xu Huipu, they would have to stand respectfully and speak respectfully. The reason why Xu Huipu was able to sit down was not only because she was the granddaughter-in-law of the old Yangzhou worshiper. The huge Jiangnan Scholar Group has a foundation and power, and its foundation and power, is not comparable to Hong Jiabin, which has only a century-old foundation, so it was planned by the ancestors in front of us, and the “Clan Products” that commented on the ranking of the family in the world. There were nine people participating in the dynasty, and the ranking of the ancestors was even before the chief assistant of the dynasty Zhang Julu! Because when his ancestor was young, he had gone out of the same school as the old assistant and the Grand Tutor of Western Chu, Sun Xiji, Zhang Julu had to regard himself as his junior.
The old man looked into the distance, “Today’s debate between kings and domineering people is probably going to pick up people’s wisdom again.”
Xu Hui hesitated for a momentNext, I didn’t say anything. The most peak debate between kings and domineering in the past fifty years, the ancestors were in the game and were naturally qualified to say this.
The old man sighed: “The old assistant has good luck. Zhang Julu is better than the blue. Otherwise, with his ability, he will be a papermaker in the empire, and he will be a cracker here, and he will be repaired there. After the Spring and Autumn Period and the National War, it will be destined to be out of date. If he dies, he will not be safe in his later years. Old man Sun in Western Chu was miserable. In terms of reputation, we were not as good as him. Now, among the scholars, he will only lose to Xu Renshu in the world. It would be better to die.”
Xu Huipu just listened humbly.
The old man heard the lion cat meow, looked down and smiled, “It’s not good that the prince can’t help it. It’s a good thing in the short term. In the long run, our group of guys who have been scolded by Tangxi Sword Immortal as immortals, will they live in vain for years?”
Xu Hui knelt down with a plop.
The old man murmured, “What’s the matter with Lu Baijie back then? Get up, the ground is cold, and it’s not good to get cold. Being down-to-earth, it’s not the way to deal with it.”
Xu Hui stood up tremblingly and sat down again.
The old man narrowed his eyes and said, “Go, let the poor young man and the prince meet him. If he has made plans for Beiliang, it will not be inferior to Zhao Changling’s slaughter to Xu Rentu.”
Xu Hui pounced and stood up gently.
The old man said calmly: “You go to recommend the pillow to the prince, so that you have completely broken up with Lu Baijie.”
