Chapter 37: A Friend You Can Trust

"That's what you did, you started killing people at a young age, which I can't reach, in ancient times, Qin Wuyang killed people on the street at the age of thirteen, and you were much better than him." Di Qing laughed.

"Don't compare me with that gutless bandit, he kills people just for a moment's pleasure, I kill people to save people, these two are judged, you have to distinguish this clearly."

Yun Zheng played with the fan in his hand and argued as he looked at the crowds on both sides of the street.

"You have the courage to fight and the wisdom to fight, which makes the old man admire him very much. If you don't accompany you when you return to Beijing this time, the old man must be very miserable at this time, thank you first, and the courage of someone to accompany the old man will be very great.

You and I are all characters who are used to fighting on the military array, as long as there is a companion who can fight back-to-back, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, dare to break through, if only one person fights the enemy, the enemy on the opposite side The old man never cares, the old man is just worried about the cold arrow shot from the back, it is chilling to think about. ”

Yun Zheng said to Di Qing seriously: "Then don't die, don't leave me alone, only you can be my real teammate in the gate, if one day you are gone, the emperor let me take a group of pigs to the battlefield, it will be too miserable." ”

Di Qing laughed, stretched out his long arm and fished back a jar of wine from the dense vendors on the street, the hawkers were not surprised, and ran with the ox cart with a smile, Yun Zheng flicked his fingers, and a small silver ingot flew out, and the hawker's hand quickly caught it, and soon, the voice of the reward from the guest officer could be heard in eight streets.

It's good, it seems that it is really Mi Liqiong who is old, but it was later called Zhuangyuan Hong, and I don't know which rule it is, Di Qing patted the sealing mud on it, took a sip and handed it to Yun Zheng, Yun Zheng reached in and fished out two lychees from it, this kind of wine was not drunk less when he was in Guangnan, it seems that the merchants in Shu have infiltrated Tokyo. This thing should not have been drunk in Tokyo before, and when he was in Quang Nam, he liked to eat lychees soaked in wine.

It takes a short time to reach Dashokokuji Temple, which is a powerful temple and the most central location of Tokyo City is not the Imperial Palace. But Xiangguo Temple, of course, the city of Tokyo has been renovated by successive emperors, has become a strange shape, has long been not the boxy appearance of Chang'an City, if you look down from the sky, Tokyo City has almost become an ellipse.

If you want to be quiet in the city of Tokyo, Xiangguoji Temple is undoubtedly the best place to go, it is not good to enter the temple door with a wine jar, and the red walls and blue tiles here. The palace is majestic, the frost is far away, there are "the eight views of Bianjing", the "Xiangguo frost bell", "the sage smoked wind", plus the statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva drawn by Wu Daozi himself, just "Wu brings the wind" this article makes this large-scale royal temple famous.

There are many domestic servants and generals at the gate of the temple. I don't know whose family it is, but it seems that the Xiangguo Temple of Nuoda only entertains this family today, and the other pilgrims only put incense in the huge iron incense burner at the entrance of the face and left.

"The people of the Yang family are on incense, it is estimated that they are still female dependents, and the etiquette of the carriage should be the old lady of the Yang family, that is, Yang Wuving's wife, and the folding family is longevity. She is eighty years old this year, we might as well go home, it's not good to bother, even if it is to give the ancestors a little face. ”

As soon as Di Qing turned around after speaking, he saw Yun Zheng pointing to Daxiangguo Temple with great interest and said to him, "You said that it is She Lao Taijun inside?" My wife met this old lady when she was attending a party in the capital, and I was very familiar with her reputation. ”

"Thunderous? How to say this. She was just a woman, even though she was the daughter of a famous general. Yang Invincible's wife, the mother of the famous general Yang Yanzhao, shouldn't move a character like you, right? Di Qing looked at Yun Zheng's excited red face and asked, in the Great Song Dynasty, it is not easy to meet other people's relatives. Even if this old lady is already in her eighties.

Of course, Yun Zheng can't say that he is the one who grew up listening to this old lady's commentary, and now that he has seen a real person, how can there be any reason not to meet him?

"Yang Wenguang has made meritorious contributions to the southern expedition with you, awarded Xingzhou defense officials, Zhijing Prefecture, deputy governor of Dingzhou Road, and moved to the military department Yu Hou, which can be regarded as being reused by the imperial court, and there is naturally a merit recommended by you and me, it should be okay for us to go and meet the old lady, right?"

Di Qing looked at Yun Zheng and said slowly: "This request of yours is really unreasonable!" Forget it, just take a look at it from a distance, we went into it from the backyard of Xiangguo Temple, and I haven't done this since I was twelve years old. ”

"Can't you visit in the open?"

"People all over the world know that the two of us are being grounded, and the old man doesn't want to be seen."

Deposited the ox cart, Di Qing and Yun Zheng came to the backyard of the Great Xiangguo Temple, Di Qing looked at the bright and swaying bluestone that was obviously rubbed by people and said with emotion: "You know no, this was the case forty years ago, and it is still the same forty years later, everyone in Tokyo City knows that the Xiangguo Temple behind the Xiangguo Temple can crawl over to steal food to eat, but the monks of Xiangguo Temple have never thought of making this place higher, and there will always be a drawer of steamed buns left in the steamer in the kitchen, even if the hungry thief takes the steamed buns, the monks in the temple will not drive them away when they see it."

It's weird to say, there will be thieves entering the temple every night in the Great Xiangguo Temple, except for the same will lose a drawer of steamed buns in the temple, never lose the rest of the things, haha, those places with high walls and compounds, but always stolen, you say, the high walls and deep fortresses can only prevent gentlemen, but can not prevent thieves, and a drawer of steamed buns in Xiangguo Temple can stop all the thieves in the world! ”

Yun Zheng said in admiration: "Master Xuanku is really a treacherous and cunning old bald donkey!" ”

"Presumptuous! How can you describe Master Xuan Ku like that? Di Qing immediately turned his face.

"Rest assured, I have always had respect for people with compassion, no matter whether he has any other purpose for doing good deeds, I also respect them very much, no matter what he does, first do good deeds in front, this is worthy of respect, this sentence is not what I said the old bald donkey, it was said by another fat famous bald donkey, and when I see you later, I will scold him, and scold me less."

Di Qing said with a dark face: "You said that this sentence was said by the monk Wugou?" ”

"That's right, when he told me about the famous places in Tokyo, he specifically told me to stay away from the Xuan Ku Bald Donkey, otherwise I would be fooled, how could I not take such an obvious warning to heart."

Di Qing climbed to the wall and looked down at Yun Zheng who was standing under the wall and said, "Why do I think that the master of Wugou that you said in your mouth is not a good person, Zou Tong said that he asked the emperor to cut off your head, it should be true." ”

Yun Zheng stuck the fan behind his neck, climbed the wall and said, "It's absolutely true, Zou didn't say a lie about the same word." ”

The two jumped off the low wall with a puff, Di Qing scratched his head and asked: "Since he is your friend, he shouldn't say such a thing, he is a high-ranking monk, I don't know that saying such a heart-wrenching word will make your situation worse?" ”

Yun Zheng took the fan in his hand again and tapped his palm and said: "It will definitely not make it worse, he is solving the siege for me, I know, there will be no mistake." ”

Di Qing stopped moving forward and looked back at Yun Zheng, and said after a long time: "You trust him so much? ”

"I don't have many friends, only one or two, if they were willing to lie to me, I would have died eighty times, they trust me very much, so I don't think if they will betray me at all, even if the monk Wugou asks the emperor to kill me, I firmly believe that he is saying specific words in a specific environment, he is helping me, not harming me."

Di Qing walked up to Yun Zheng, pressed his shoulders with both hands and said, "You can treat me as your friend in the future!" ”

Yun Zheng broke away from Di Qing's hand and laughed: "You are already already, you have been since you returned to the army in Dali, otherwise you think I am full of food and go to the trouble of supervising the imperial history?" ”

Di Qing also laughed, took out the wine jar and took a big sip of wine, handed it to Yun Zheng, Yun Zheng took it and fished out a lychee from the middle and ate it, and the two walked happily to the front yard of Daxiangguo Temple.

Di Qing's steps were brisk, Yun Zheng needed to trot to keep up, and he walked briskly compared to a big man who was more than 1.9 meters tall, and he didn't walk with ordinary hardship.

Xiangguo Temple is very large, but there are very few people in today's temple, the monks are doing morning classes, the Zen chanting in the temple is endless, strolling in this Buddha's country, plus there is a good mood, the whole person seems to be bathed in the Buddha's light, warm.

I don't know why the four King Kongs guarding the mountain gate of the Great Xiangguo Temple are behind, the four King Kongs leaned over and watched the two thieves walk under their feet, they could only open their eyes angrily but there was no further punishment, this kind of Cheng DΓΉ's spiritual attack had no pressure on Yun Zheng who dared to scrape gold paint from the Buddha statue, but Di Qing also folded his hands in front of each Buddha statue and saluted.

There are a lot of locust trees in Xiangguo Temple, and now it is time to fall leaves, a breeze blows, the leaves on the tree shake off, and it is not only the yellow leaves that fall down, but also countless green leaves in the middle, just like people, the dead are not necessarily old, there will be a lot of young people, the dead have nothing to do with age, only about fate.

The monks are very kind, every time they see two thieves swaggering out of the apse, they are not surprised, with an idiot-like compassionate smile on their faces, and they salute with one palm, Di Qing has no sense of thieves at all, and he respectfully returns the salute, and then Di Qing told SΓΉ Yunzheng that it is the Yang family who blocks the gate and does not let others in, not Xiangguo Temple, Xiangguo Temple is a convenient door, and anyone who wants to enter can enter.

Hearing this, Yun Zheng didn't have a good impression when he saw those gorgeously dressed maids and maids, a maid was just about to accuse Yun Zheng and Di Qing of being unreasonable, Yun Zheng smiled and pinched the maid's cheek, then shook the fan and continued to follow Di Qing to the front, very strange, the humiliated maid did not hang herself or throw herself into the well, but said loudly in the back: "Don't dare to go to the front yard, be careful of being broken by the general!" ”
