Chapter 64: The First Arrival in a Foreign Land (2)
It was indeed a knock at the door, and I heard Master Ganlin's hearty laughter knocking on the door and coming in. The master still looks like a monk, but the monk's robe has turned light brown. Still clean, spotless, with a string of Buddhist beads in his hand. He was followed by a kind-eyed, short-haired woman, about fifty years old. The clothes they wore were very similar to Yun'er's, and the three of them were busy visiting the master.
Master Gan Lin hurriedly grabbed the prince and didn't let him kneel, and said with a smile: "Huikong, there is no need to be like this, let me introduce first: this is Sister Han Meihan, our classmate, and an old friend who has been a teacher for many years." You have now come to a foreign space more than 200 years after the Qing Dynasty, here in the year 2,000 and 5 AD. ”
The mouths of the three of Wang Ye and the others were all wide open, they couldn't understand such a thing, which was more mythical than a mythical story: how could the people of the Qing Dynasty run away to the next generation?
Master Gan Lin again: "You come here, you have no relatives, you are completely unfamiliar with the situation, don't do things, it is very difficult to even survive, there is no reliable person to help you, it will definitely be difficult to move an inch." Therefore, the teacher entrusted you to this eldest sister, she is very good, you can completely trust her, and the house you live in belongs to the eldest sister's son. Her son has gone to the south, and here you eat and lodging, and do whatever you want. ”
"Yes, Master". The prince hugged his fist at Sister Han: "Fuyou and the others have caused trouble to the eldest sister." ”
Sister Han smiled modestly and said, "Mr. Fu, you're welcome, we are all a family." ”
Master Gan Lin: "For the sake of the teacher, I will tell you the purpose of your coming here. Your Qing Dynasty will soon enter the reign of the next monarch, and the new monarch will be a good emperor of civil and martial arts, but he will face many difficulties and dangers. You have to help this future benevolent monarch financially, and this is an important mission that the Master has given you. In other words, you have to do business, and you have to give the money you earn to this benevolent king, so that he will not be ruined by the lack of money in building up various merits. Being a teacher means that you should do your best to help him, not that you should master the entire economic lifeline of the Qing Dynasty. Do what you have to do, and don't get involved in anything that has nothing to do with you. As a teacher, I can clearly tell you that the process of helping him is a process of cultivation, and it is also a process of returning to the heavenly world to establish merit. Just like the Tang monk and apprentice learned scriptures from the West, they killed demons and monsters all the way, and finally obtained the true scriptures and achieved positive results. Of course, there will be no bone spirits or centipede spirits in front of you. But the fame and fortune, honor and disgrace, life and death, etc., in the mundane world, are no different from demons and monsters, and they are all tests for you. These things are demons. It depends on what you think and do in front of these demons. For example, if the world you are in now is a place of bizarre, variety, material abundance, and temptation is a severe test. If you can overcome its temptations, you will win the battle. It is really difficult to be difficult, because you are in the midst of the world, and you are faced with the temptation of all kinds of interests. And how many people in the world are not living for money, material, and status? Even if it's difficult, it's a test of your concentration. ”
"You have to give up your interests altogether, and you have to be unmoved by money and material things. It's no easier than defeating demons and monsters. You also have to exchange the antiques you brought here for the money here, and use the money to buy the things that the Qing Dynasty needs and don't have, and bring them back to sell or process, and part of the profits will be given to the next emperor, and part of the profits will be given to the people involved in the processing and management, so that the family can't pay in vain. You understand, several of you, as well as Huikong's wife and Yun's parents, are all involved in this matter, but you guys don't have any pay. Not only do you have to unconditionally invest the money you get from the antiques that belong to you, but you also have to hand over a part of your hard-earned profits to the next emperor unconditionally, and you don't have any benefits to be gained. ”
The prince calmly: "The disciple understands. ”
"Isn't there a complaint?"
Wang Ye: "Master, when the disciple was in the temple, all his belongings were a monk's robe, a monk's stick, a bedding, and a bowl for fasting, and he didn't feel how poor and shabby he was. After returning to the world, he enjoyed wealth and glory in the palace and the palace, and slept in a place three feet wide and six or seven feet long. Until now, I haven't covered a quilt, and no matter how silk and satin are, I am dressed in two singles in summer and cotton in winter. After being crowned king, there are 10,000 taels of rice and 10,000 Hulu rice and the harvest on the Zhuangzi, and then there is a share of the prince, which is already uneaten, inexhaustible and very rich, what do the disciples want to do with such money? ! Master, rest assured, for our mission, we will not hesitate to pay money and strength, even if we need our lives. ”
"Good! Good! Master and eldest sister looked relieved.
Master: "Huikong, your ideological realm is very high, and you have already understood what Master said today, and I hope you can think like this and do the same." What about the two of you? Master asked Xiang Yun'er and Tian Liang with a smile.
Yun'er blushed: "Yun'er is also like Mr., she will not be confused by money, and she should do her best to assist Mr. to complete his mission." ”
"Correct you for the teacher, in fact, you are not assisting Mr., but fulfilling your own mission, and the same is true for Tian Guard. Of course, you have to cooperate with each other and help each other in the process. In the future, not only the three of you, but all the people in your house, regardless of their status and status, should participate in your affairs. You know? They are people who are destined to be with the three of you, and some of them are gods from the holy world like you, and they are here to help you in your mission. It is clear that their realm is not as high as yours, and you must pay them when you participate in the processing of various commodities in the future, otherwise they will not be understood by the outside world. It's also a subsidy for their lives. Also, the antiques you brought are purely Madame Yun's own personal property, in order to help Xinjun exchange for the coins here, after buying the goods, go back and sell them, and the silver in exchange is also for the emperor and part for the processor operators, without any interests of your own, so do you have any reluctant thoughts? Even if it's one? ”
Yun'er was busy: "No, no, antiques are not eaten or drunk, and they still occupy a place there, and they can be used by a good emperor of civil and martial arts, isn't it that they all have their own place?" ”
"Well, it's not bad. You're a girl, it's not easy to give up like that. All the teachers and talents understand? ”
"Yes, yes, the disciples all understand."
"What does Guard Tian think?" Master asked Tian Liang.
Tian Liang said very simply and briefly: "If your subordinates don't have it, go all out." ”
"Good! However, this time you have a heavy responsibility, not only to complete your own affairs, but also to protect the safety of Mrs. Yun, and to have a lot of motivational drudgery, and to learn some skills that the Qing Dynasty does not have. ”
"Master, rest assured, it is the duty of subordinates to protect their masters, and it is also their duty to work hard."
"Good, that's it. The specific things you want to do should be discussed with the eldest sister. The eldest sister knows what to do, she will tell you and guide you how to do it, if you don't understand, please ask the eldest sister. It is inconvenient for a teacher to get involved in mundane things, and the eldest sister lives in this environment and is very familiar with this place. As a teacher, I would like to give you a few words of advice, always remember that you are a disciple of the Buddha, that your heart is empty, and that you should not be carried away by earthly illusions. As for the money you need, the eldest sister's husband will help you exchange the antiques you have brought with you for the coins here. You can buy as much as you can get in exchange. In addition to buying the goods here, the three of you also have a mission to learn some of the skills here, which you can learn as much as you can. It's not very profound, but it is something that the Qing Dynasty does not have, and it is also something that you can master, and it is not so difficult to learn, and then go back and teach those subordinates in the house, and they will be responsible for processing some goods or selling them later, so as to prepare for future business. Huikong, the social form here is no longer the Qing Dynasty. The identity, status, and title of your prince, side fortune, and guard will be put aside for the time being, and you will be restored when you go back. The name of Huikong is 'Mr. Fu', and the three of you behind the back are whatever you want. The eldest sister will teach you specific things, you still have to have a process of adapting here, it really takes some days, you must listen to the eldest sister's arrangement, and you can't go your own way. Also, you must not get involved in the affairs here, for example, when the road is uneven, draw a knife to help, catch a thief and catch a hooligan, your time is very tight, don't waste it. The eldest sister's husband, daughter, and son-in-law are all from our family, and their family is a rare good person, so you get along well. The eldest sister you want to do has already made a preliminary arrangement, and if she can't buy it, she must not buy it, but the opinion of the eldest sister is the opinion of the teacher. You have to do your own thing well in the year or so. The teacher has already expanded the brain capacity of the three of you a little, the memory has been enhanced, and Huikong's injured arm has also been healed, otherwise he would not be able to complete this mission. Then there is the fact that you have to pay your living expenses to the eldest sister. Their husband and wife live on a pension, and there is a lot of money, and the cost of this place is too large for them to afford. Remember, the goods you buy are useful to go back, even cheap, don't be reluctant to spend money, don't buy things you shouldn't buy, and don't think about saving face. ”
The prince hurriedly agreed, of course, he had to pay money for dinner and accommodation, which was a matter of course.
Then the master said to the eldest sister: "Gan Lin has other things, so I will leave, and the three of them will let the eldest sister worry, and I will definitely come to visit everyone in my free time." Then he said goodbye to the eldest sister and the prince.
Seeing off the master, the eldest sister enthusiastically asked the three of them to sit down and rest, and poured them three cups of tea. Wang Ye and Yun'er are used to being served, and Tian Liang is embarrassed.
"You guy, so shy? Sit down, eldest sister will introduce you to the basic situation here, we are not a monarchy here, that is, there is no emperor, and people's state of mind is not quite the same as yours, you try to adapt to it. The eldest sister will introduce her family situation again. Tian, you sit down, the eldest sister is embarrassed to speak. ”
The prince ordered Tian Liang: "The eldest sister will sit down if you want to sit down, and follow the customs." ”
"Huh."
Tian Liang's "sigh" made the eldest sister almost laugh. This is not a TV series, it is a real expression of the subjects of the Qing Dynasty. I finally held back.
"Tian, the three of you really have to get used to it for a while. It's very interesting, two people from completely different eras get together, it's really fate. ”
"Eldest sister, Fu has a question, I don't know if I can ask it."
"Just ask, the eldest sister must know everything and say everything."
"You are a person more than 200 years after the Qing Dynasty, how can you be friends with Master Ganlin?"
"You know who Master Gan Lin is, he doesn't belong to you from the Qing Dynasty, nor is he from our place, he is a person with a high realm. So, he doesn't belong to any era, he is a god in the world of gods and Buddhas. He is in an eternal world, where there is no concept of time, so he can travel back and forth between time and space, that is, he can go to the Qing Dynasty casually, he can go to the Tang Dynasty, he can go to the Han Dynasty casually, and he can also go to three thousand years later. You see that he is only in his twenties, but in fact, his real age is more than hundreds of millions. Sister, do you understand? ”
The eldest sister's words made the three princes so thunderous that they just opened their mouths.
