On the fourteenth day of the first month, Song Guogong came to Kaiyuan Temple to worship the abbot of Puci.

For the vast majority of monks in the temple, the abbot of Puci passed away only because he was dying. It was Song Guogong and his entourage who were not blamed at all.

And this day is the fourth day that Bu'an went up the mountain to copy the scriptures.

When the sun was setting in the west, an old man and a young man walked on the secluded mountain road in the back mountain, chatting about the boundless sky.

Song Guogong asked, the life in the temple on the mountain is still habitual.

Bu An said that it was quiet here, and there was no distraction when copying the scriptures, and the art of calligraphy was gradually rising, but there was no meat to eat for three meals a day, which was a bit difficult.

Song Guogong laughed, and said that he never expected that Bu Gongzi still had a Buddha fate. The subtext of these words is obviously to wonder why Tongtian Arhat would sell Bu'an so much face.

Bu An just didn't understand, and said with a smile that when he first entered Tianmu Academy, Master Tu Yao also said so, maybe he really had a Buddha fate, but it was a pity that he voted for the wrong door.

These two people asked and answered, and the questions were hidden and vague, not because they were guarding against each other, but because they were related to the place where they were.

The three thousand disciples of Kaiyuan Temple, I don't know how many of them practice Tianertong, so when they talk here, they naturally have to be careful.

When I walked into the layman forest halfway up the mountainside, entered the squatter room of Bu'an Keju, took paper and ink, and sat down to talk with each other, the situation was very different.

Song Guogong asked, how was Zhangzhou Xuanqi destroyed.

Bu An replied that he went up the mountain to guerrilla and burned Xuanqi's grain and grass, so when Zhang Xianye went out of the mountain, he had been hungry for several days and nights. He also said that Zhang Xianye carried a lot of firearms, which seemed to be very good.

Song Guogong didn't seem too surprised that Zhang Xianye had a firearm—Bu An suspected that the Qufu army might also have this thing.

Before that, Bu An had already thought about how to explain what he had done in Qimin Dao, and the doubts that would inevitably be left behind.

Unexpectedly, Song Guogong stopped and immediately turned the topic to a larger vision. He said that before Zhang Chengtao died, he admitted to colluding with the Moon Worship Cult, but he refused to say the identity of the chaotic god who was mixed with the world. Then he smiled and looked at Bu An: "I don't know what Bu Gongzi thinks?"

Bu An slowly picked up the pen, a little hesitant in his heart, but he was not brewing "high opinions", but hesitating whether to say it, or to what extent.

After a while, he still wrote six words: "Xing is a high authority." ”

Song Guogong asked in a deep voice, "How can you see it?"

Bu An had already thought of the answer, and immediately wrote: "Cities are easy to obtain, but allies are hard to find." Zhang Chengtaogui is a political envoy of Qifu, and he is resourceful, and he would rather lose such help than show his face, which shows that the man's plans are far-reaching. If it weren't for a high position, what would be the far-reaching scheme?"

Song Guogong nodded, obviously agreeing with this, and then smiled slightly: "After the monthly conference, what are the plans of Bu Gongzi?"

Bu An pondered, if he said that he had no plans for the time being, the Song family would probably find a way to keep him in Qimin Road, so he didn't think about it and wrote: "About west." ”

Song Guogong pondered for a moment and wrote: "Don't go to Yanyou?"

"It's too close to Beijing, the water is too deep, I'm afraid that there will be no bones left. Bu An wrote as he shook his head and smiled.

Song Guogong also gradually laughed, obviously understanding what he meant, and then destroyed the paper and got up to leave.

Bu An could feel that Song Guogong no longer regarded him as a junior when he went up the mountain this time, and it seemed that it was not just because he helped the Song family.

In fact, from beginning to end, Song Guogong did not mention a single "word" of thanks, and only left a pile of letters before leaving.

Bu An opened the letters one by one, only to see that the inscriptions on them had been erased, and the text part was almost all about the news and intelligence of the monthly conference.

In short, on the twenty-first day of the third year of Longxing, heroes from all over the world gathered at Xuanwu Lake in Jiangning to discuss the month-by-month plan.

And in these letters, there is more or more detailed or concise, perhaps secret, or only the most attentive people will gather information.

Among them, Bu An felt that the most interesting one was the name of the person who proposed to Emperor Longxing to hold a month-by-month conference, exhausting the wisdom of the world and conspiring for the great cause of the month.

Leaning.

Bu An remembered this name, Tu Yao once mentioned it, Lehu Yangzhong, one of the three heroes of Bianjing.

......

Since ancient times, the power vacuum created by the sudden death of a person in power has usually heralded a bloody storm.

However, the death of the abbot of Puci did not cause similar waves in Kaiyuan Temple.

The reason for this is that in addition to the great prestige of Tongtian Arhat when he was alive, and he left a handwritten book and named his disciple Guangkai as the new abbot, it is also related to his magical powers.

Legend has it that the abbot of Puci has cultivated his fate to the realm of Ganges sand, peeking through the cause and effect of the world, knowing 300 years before and 70 years later.

For example, in Kaiyuan Temple, even if someone covets the position of abbot, how dare they stand up and say that Tongtian Arhat has set up the wrong person and passed on the wrong mantle?

Well, actually, there are.

This person is the new abbot of Kaiyuan Temple, Guangkai himself.

Guang Kai is not unwilling to inherit the master's legacy, in fact, he has taken over the position of abbot and began to learn to make all kinds of decisions, big and small.

He, like the Master, is also fatalistic. Others think that he is always 80% sure of the decisions he makes. Only Guang Kai himself knew that if he used his supernatural powers every time he made a choice, he was afraid that within a few days, he would damage his life spirit and follow his master.

Therefore, he felt that the burden on his body was very heavy, and he felt that he might live up to Master's expectations.

Others may believe in Master's supernatural powers, but Guang Kai knows that the so-called "300 years of knowledge in advance, 70 years of experience in the future" is impossible after all.

Let's take the present as an example, the master has mentioned it in front of him several times, saying that Guang Nian has a relationship with the step donor, and also said that when the step donor goes up the mountain to copy the scriptures, let Guang Nian be closer to him.

But under Guang Kai's secret observation, he felt that Guang Nian's junior brother and the step donor really didn't look like they were destined.

Once, Guang Nian finally said that he leaked his mouth, it turned out that he blamed the abbot's death on the head of the benefactor, so he was angry when he looked at it.

He also said that others may not know, but he saw it with his own eyes: on that day, a female benefactor asked to see the abbot, and mentioned the name of the scholar to get her wish.

Guang Kai knew that this little junior brother looked at the six roots and was very playful, but in fact he was extremely smart, and some things could not be hidden from him, so he persuaded him that the abbot's move was profound, and it was by no means as simple as he saw.

Guang Nian still went his own way, and went to see the donor every day, but he always spoke coldly to him.

At this point, Guang Kai felt more and more that Master might have really misunderstood.

Pushing this and the other, he, the new abbot, may have chosen the wrong master.
