Chapter Ninety-Six: Getting First
It took Wu Tongguang and Li Wutong nearly half an hour to arrive at Master Huiyun's former residence.
It is Master Huiyun who wrote "Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green". In Xuanjin Gate, this residence is not small.
Wu Tongguang and the others quietly entered the house from behind. This house is full of ancient trees, there is ink in the stone platform book at the door, and the moss slowly climbs up the edge of the wall to look more ancient, but since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Civil War between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, who still has the heart to travel in the mountains and rivers and hang on the monuments?
The house is square, the front door faces east, the back door faces the river, from the gate into is a not small yard, the middle of the yard is planted with cypress trees, the sunlight is cut from the gap between the leaves, sprinkled on the bluestone platform, the irregular shape is like the New Year's festival Jiangnan windows are covered with paper-cut window flowers.
"The house is so big, where do I start?" Wu Tongguang thought.
Wu Tongguang and Li Wutong walked into the study, which is worthy of being a famous home room, the study displays a lot of books, and the four walls are full of books and ink treasures......
Calligraphy!
Wu Tongguang's mind flashed. He quickly took out half of the book in his arms, and the sentences on it were not the proud poems of Master Huiyun. If nothing else, you will definitely find the sentences in this book in this house.
"Carving beams and springs go to dreams like smoke, and the green courtyard sings."
Li Wutong and Wu Tongguang began to flip through the books on the shelves one by one, but in the face of this vast collection of books, it was not easy to find the sentences that were also copied on half of the books.
After working for a long time, the two of them found nothing, seeing the sunset, the two of them did not dare to slack off, if the sky darkened, the two of them could not light candles and rummage through it, that was undoubtedly to tell the management of the house that there was an uninvited guest coming in.
Li Wutong raised her head and began to look at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall one by one, a picture of "inside and outside pure, the cause of Bodhi" came into her eyes, although she did not fully understand what these eight words meant, but felt that the brushwork was simple, and it was a little out of place with others.
"Wu Tongguang, look!"
Wu Tongguang followed her gaze.
"Do you think there's something wrong?"
"What does this mean?"
Wu Tongguang said: "This is Master Taixu's son who sent Master Huiyun. ”
Li Wutong said: "Yes, but why didn't you make the payment!" ”
Wu Tongguang and Li Wutong looked at it for a while, and then lowered their heads to look for the book. Finally, when the sky was about to darken, Li Wutong shouted excitedly: "Found it!" ”
Wu Tongguang hurriedly made a silent gesture.
The verse was found. Transcribed in a book of poems, the handwriting is beautiful and delicate.
The handwriting is familiar!
In a book of poems with worn threads. But what's so unusual about such a sentence? Then Wu Tongguang finally saw the whole picture of this poem, the first half has been snatched, and presumably part of the poem is also printed on the first half of the book.
A lamp shone in from the window, and a simple old man stood outside the door, apparently in charge of affairs here.
Wu Tongguang put the book back in its place, walked up to the old man respectfully and said, "My surname is Wu, and I am a student of Master Huiyun. ”
The old man asked, "Huiyun is Hongyi, where did the student come from?" ”
Wu Tongguang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and I divide teachers and students." ”
The old man said, "Even if you are a student, why don't you enter through the front door?" ”
It turned out that Wu Tongguang and Li Wutong sneaked in from the back wall, and they had already been noticed by the old man in the courtyard, and the old man was reluctant to alarm the two, so he must have noticed that the two of them had no malicious intent.
Wu Tongguang said: "That is, Hongyi, where did you come from in front of the door and behind the door?" ”
The old man narrowed his eyes and said word by word: "I see you like a reader, you have been reading in the study for a long time, what are you doing?" ”
Wu Tongguang said: "Old man, I'm here to find something." ”
After speaking, he picked up the transcribed verses on the bookshelf and handed them to the old man.
The old man said: "This is the teacher's poem before his death. ”
Wu Tongguang said: "Do you know who copied this? ”
The old man said: "This is difficult for the old body, and no one will particularly care about the matter of copying into a book." ”
Li Wutong suddenly said: "Old man, do you see that this character is the same person as the person who copied it?" As he spoke, he pointed to the painting on the wall, "Pure inside and outside, the cause of Bodhi."
The old man was shocked when he saw it, as if he had seen something unbelievable, and muttered to himself: "Strange, when did this painting be hung?" ”
The old man suddenly bowed down and said in a trembling voice: "This is not a thing in the study!" This seems to be the teacher's own handwriting! ”
Wu Tongguang was surprised: "Master Huiyun's handwriting? ”
The old man said: "Huiyun has been Hongyi, where are there worldly things, and all the items in this study are the teacher's belongings." ”
Wu Tongguang immediately said: "These eight words are a gift from Master Taixu himself, and that is Master Huiyun......"
Before Wu Tongguang finished speaking, the old man said: "These eight words were not available yesterday, and today they were suddenly hung on the wall, isn't it a teacher's manifestation?" Then he kowtowed a few more times.
Wu Tongguang looked at this painting for a while and said, "Can I take this picture off and look at it?" ”
The old man said: "You came here today, and the teacher's word manifestation must be because you have a great Buddha relationship with the teacher, please respect it." The old man suddenly became respectful.
After Wu Tongguang took off the calligraphy and painting, he was even more surprised: "The calligraphy and painting ink has not dried yet!" ”
A gust of wind blew and extinguished the candlelight, and it was the beginning of the night, when the darkness was combined, the study suddenly revealed a supernatural atmosphere.
Li Wutong was a little scared and hid behind Wu Tongguang.
The old man also stepped forward, looked at the calligraphy and painting carefully by the light, and muttered, "It's not like ...... Well, but it can be imitated with the fake, and the fake with the real......"
"Wu Tongguang, look!"
Wu Tongguang looked up, and there was a line of small words left on the wall where the calligraphy and paintings were hung: "Winter attacks Laishui, and the Ronghe River can be learned." ”
This is a telegram that had already been sent to the commander of the Jin-Cha-Ji Field Army.
"Lei Yin" is really responsible for transmitting the key information related to the Laishui Campaign. Since it is necessary to "attack Laishui in winter", it is necessary to find a way to solve the strict battle of Fu Zuoyi's new editor Li Mingding. What "Lei Yin" left to Wu Tongguang after killing himself will be a defense map or a battle plan?
"Strange, why do you use this strange character to cover these eight small characters?"
That's right, Wu Tongguang is also thinking, the eight characters on the wall are naturally clues left by "Lei Yin", but this painting of "Pure Inside and Outside, the Cause of Bodhi" is hung on the wall by a ghost, blocking the content of the secret electricity, who did it?
Could it be that someone doesn't want Wu Tongguang and them to see this clue, since someone can find this clue first, then it means that the words on half of the book have already been deciphered!
Who is the first to get ahead?
