The boat went down the Yellow River, riding the wind and waves, the speed was extremely fast, and the scenery along the way was beautiful, which attracted the Feiyan girl to scream. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Soon, they came to the ancient capital of Luoyang, and after getting off the boat, Zhiwei looked at the city wall that had gone through the vicissitudes of life, which was covered with countless sword marks.

The master said: "The Tang King did not allow others to repair these traces, the Tang King once said such a sentence, "Take copper as a mirror, you can be dressed properly, take people as a reference, you can know the gains and losses, take history as a mirror, and you can know the rise and fall, so the traces here are well preserved." ”

After entering the city, Zhiwei and the others found that the waters of Luoyang were extremely developed, and large ships and small boats could be seen everywhere.

After the master and the others found a place to stay, they said, "Tomorrow I will visit the great Confucian here, Xu Wenyuan, be careful not to disturb others when you go." ”

The others immediately replied, "Yes." ”

Zhiwei looked at the time and asked, "Master, it's still early, why don't you visit today?" ”

The Master said, "We have come in the dust, and our bodies have not yet been washed, and it would be very disrespectful to go directly, so let's wait until we have washed up and recuperated our spirits." ”

"Yes."

The next day, they changed into a set of clean and simple clothes, came to Xu Wenyuan's house, and knocked lightly on the door.

At this time, a woman's voice came from inside, "Who?" ”

The master said, "Yan Rushu, I ask to see Master Xu Wenyuan." ”

A crack opened in the door inside, revealing a pair of eyes, she observed it, and found that those people were all wearing official uniforms, so she called the door, invited them in, and said, "Old man Xu went fishing, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

When the door opened, he found that it was a middle-aged woman, and the master asked, "Then I wonder when Duke Xu will come back?" ”

"I guess it's evening, what are you looking for him? You can leave me a message. ”

The master shook his head and said: "The king of Tang is going to open a waterway conference, and now he invites the three famous scholars of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism to go to Chang'an to discuss the Tao." ”

The women, who also read poetry and books, wondered, "Isn't the land and water conference a Buddhist affair, so how can other sects be invited?" ”

The master said with a smile: "Originally, it was just a matter of Buddhism, but the Tang King saw that the country was strong and the people were ignorant, so now he wants to invite the masters to Chang'an to have a debate conference and promote knowledge." ”

At this time, a voice came from behind, "Good thing, I agreed, and I happened to go to discuss the Tao with the two Buddhas and Taoists." ”

The Master and the others turned their heads to look at the person who came, and found that this man was gray-haired, but his spirit was strong.

The master immediately bowed and said, "Mr. Xu, morning." ”

Xu Wenyuan put down the fishing rod in his hand and said, "It's early, the sun is overhead, and you kid is too, you haven't come out to see you for so long." ”

The master immediately laughed and said, "You really haven't changed, just like a child, you don't have any Confucian temperament." ”

Xu Wenyuan glared at him and said, "What do you want to do with temperament?" Can it make me happy? If you can't, just give it up. ”

"Okay, good, good, long time no see, let's go have some drinks today."

"Then let's go, Luoyang Drunken Ranlou will go."

The others couldn't help but laugh when they saw this great Confucian like a child.

Upstairs in Drunken Ran, the master and son had already drunk everything.

At this time, Zhiwei made a look, and they immediately replaced the wine on the table with clear water.

The master took a sip and said, "Why has the smell of wine become weaker?" ”

Zhiwei also tried it and said, "No, Master, are you drunk?" ”

Xu Wenyuan's face flushed and said, "That's right, I just feel that this wine is not bad." ”

"Come, come, drink."

The next day, the master touched his head and said, "It seems that I can't drink anymore, my head hurts." ”

Zhiwei came over with a bowl of hangover tea and said, "Master drink some hangover tea, and the doctor said that his head won't hurt so much after drinking." ’

"Okay."

In the afternoon, the master came to Xu Wenyuan's house, and after explaining some things, several people set foot on the road to the east again.

On the boat, Zhiwei smiled and said, "It's been done so quickly, and it seems that we have invited all of them soon." ’

The master shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, you will know the following." ”

。。。。。。

After Luoyang, they went all the way down the river to the destination of this journey, Shandong.

As the hometown of Confucius, Shandong has countless Confucians.

Sure enough, the master's words a few days ago were verified, the great Confucianism here is not as good as Xu Wenyuan, and when they heard that they were going to Chang'an to participate in the water and land conference, they immediately shook their heads and vetoed,

After visiting several times in a row, Zhiwei asked puzzledly, 'Why did they all refuse?' ’

The master sighed and said: "It's not that their self-esteem is wrong, they feel that when they go to Chang'an to participate in the water and land conference, they have no place to put their faces." ”

The Flying Swallow was puzzled and asked, "What's the problem?" Isn't it just going to a conference? ”

The master smiled: "You don't understand, the three families of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are now fiercely competing for the status of bishop of the Tang Dynasty, and now if they agree, they feel that they have admitted defeat." ”

Feiyan Nu was speechless and said, "Is this okay? If you go, if you win the debate, won't you win? ’

The master laughed and said: "They don't think like this, they will feel that if they go, their momentum will be inferior first, and that is the main venue of Buddhism, they are also afraid of losing." ”

Feiyan Nu smiled: "It turned out to be a coward." ”

Zhiwei interjected: 'What if they don't go now?' ’

The master said: "Don't worry, it's just arrived now, let's finish worshipping all the great Confucians here in the past few days." ”

For several days, they were all rejected by the Great Confucian, and none of them wanted to go to Chang'an.

At this time, Gu Lei stepped forward and said: "Master, we have inquired that there are still a few great Confucians here in Shandong near Haidong, which is far away from here. ”

The master thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, let's go and see, it's still too late." ”

Gu Lei was embarrassed and said: "It has snowed heavily here in Shandong in the past few days, and the road is not easy to walk, or you are here, let's go." ”

The master looked at the snow outside and said, "Are you okay?" ”

Gu Lei nodded and said: "Master, we can, if it doesn't work, then let's take Zhiwei with us, he is your student, and you can do it on your behalf." ”

The master thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay, that's okay, I'll write a letter to you, and I'll give you a jade plate from the emperor to prove your identity, and I'll be here to do things." ”

Zhiwei heard that the master was not going, his heart also relaxed, and he went to Haidong, they inquired, the road was very difficult to walk, and there seemed to be bandits there now, if the master went, it would be troublesome.

He immediately spoke, "Master, don't worry, I'm here." ”

The master looked at Zhiwei and said, "Okay, I know you can do it." ”

Zhiwei, Feiyannu, and Gu Lei set off immediately when they were ready, and all the others stayed behind to protect the master.

The master knew that Zhiwei was good at kung fu now, and he didn't worry about anything.
