Chapter Ninety-Six: God Looks at People

After listening to Lu Xu's proposal, the expressions of the people in the room were different, some were melon-eating people, and they didn't care about themselves, just waiting to see a good show; Some frowned, sensing that Lu Xu's move was a bit of a villain's heart, ten people fighting one person, it was inevitable that they would not be able to win; Some, like Lu Xu, couldn't get used to seeing Xu You mingling in Yaji as a commoner, and living on an equal footing with them on the third floor, so they had the intention of humiliating him, and immediately applauded.

Zhang Zihua hesitated slightly, and before he could make a decision, an entourage quietly walked in and announced: "Zhu Fayan of Dade Temple, Heavenly Master Dao Yangzhou Sacrificial Wine Du Mingyu has arrived downstairs!" ”

Zhang Zihuateng stood up, looked around the left and right, and said with a smile: "It's finally here, everyone welcomes me with me!" ”

Xu You hung his head, an unfathomable smile flashed in his eyes, last night he asked Dong Solstice to inquire about Du Mingyu's accommodation, and then arranged for the Mountain Sect to quietly send him a gift, hoping that he could use it today.

Xu You doesn't know much about Du Mingyu, but at a critical juncture, he endured humiliation and burden, and finally got his wish, replacing Du Jingzhi as the sacrificial wine of Yangzhou Zhi, he should not be such an easy person to admit defeat. As long as there is a chance, in the face of the pressing of Buddhism, I will definitely make an appropriate counterattack!

Zhu Fayan and Du Mingyu walked into Yushilou side by side, with two people behind them, as if they had discussed it, and no one pressed anyone. Zhang Zihua and Zhu Fayan are very familiar, they can't help but laugh when they greet each other, listen to the style, the two often have contacts in Jinling, and their friendship is acceptable. No matter how far Du Mingyu is, there is no estrangement at all, the relationship between Zhang's and Tianshi Dao has always been good, although Du Jingzhi's bad thing happened, but Sun Guan adjusted his strategy in time and actively communicated with the gates in Yangzhou.

When it rains, there are three floors inside and outside the building, in the hall, at the railing, at the staircase, gathered a lot of people, they are the most promising reading seeds in Yangzhou at the moment, or believe in Buddhism, or believe, or believe in Confucianism, or only believe in fame and fortune, but at this moment, their beliefs are no longer important, the important thing is that they witnessed the Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism in Yangzhou this important town of the last harmonious coexistence of a period of time, even if this harmony is only the so-called superficial articles and people's hearts between the void and grievances.

"That's the ...... of the festival."

"People say that they all sacrifice wine and beautiful postures, good looks, and they really live up to their reputation."

"Since ancient times, there have been many beautiful men with surnames, and the ancients didn't deceive me!"

"How is it compared to Gu Fujun?"

"Chunlan and autumn chrysanthemum, each is good at winning ......"

"Otherwise, in my opinion, both sacrifice wine Qingqi, Gu Fujun is beautiful, compared with the two, Gu Fujun is better!"

"What about Master Zhu?"

"This ...... Let's discuss other things, such as whether Master Zhu and Du Saijiu will argue with each other in today's Yaji? ”

Zhang Zihua was in the center, Zhu Fayan and Du Mingyu stood on the left and right, and the three of them talked along the wooden ladder, laughing from time to time, and others seemed to be harmonious. Xu You stayed in the crowd, he was a small person, and he was not qualified to step forward, so he secretly looked at Zhu and Du. Du Mingyu is as everyone discusses, his appearance is handsome, his demeanor is graceful, I don't know if it is because he has practiced the Heavenly Master's Dao exercises, and between his demeanor, there is a bit of ethereal and distant immortal energy. Zhu Fayan looked old, skinny, with his eyebrows hanging down at the corners of his eyes, his eyes were as muddy as muddy water that had just been drenched in the rain, and he did not have the slightest demeanor of a monk.

With appearance alone, Du Mingyu killed Zhu Fayan in seconds, but the most unreliable thing in the world is appearance, Zhu Fayan, as a big disciple of Zhu Daorong, has a high position in the Buddhist sect of Chu State, and is responsible for the important task of propagating the Dharma in Yangzhou and fighting head-on with the Heavenly Master, how can it be easy?

People can not look good, Xu You recited silently in his abdomen, and then looked at the two monks who followed Zhu Fayan, there was no handsome guy he met that day, oh, what is the name of the winter solstice, Zhu ...... No leaks, yes, no leaks!

Xu You thought that Zhu Fayan would bring Zhu Wuxian to see the world, or mix up some connections, but he didn't expect to bring only two unknown monks, an old man and a strong one.

He didn't know whether it was a pity in his heart, but he was relieved, and Zhu Wuxi's smile resurfaced in his mind and lingered.

On the third floor, Zhang Zihua did not go back to the previous small room, and took everyone to a hall on the north side, which can accommodate thirty or forty people, transparent on three sides, and enjoy the wonderful scenery of Gushan Mountain and Qiantang Lake, which is the best place to view the building when it rains.

Seated in turn, Zhang Zihua pointed to Lu Xu and asked with a smile: "Take a seat, do you recognize this son?" ”

Zhu Fayan raised his drooping eyelids, squinted at Lu Xu, shook his head and said, "I don't recognize!" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Zihua suddenly rose up and said: "I heard that the upper seat has the art of observing people, I am fortunate today, can I point to the old man?" Look at this son, how expensive will it be in the future? ”

"Dazhong Zhengxian has knowledge, the world knows salty, where do you need monks to talk more?"

Zhang Zihua waved his hand, leaned on the soft embroidered pillow, and said with a smile: "My reputation is deceptive, and it can't be taken seriously." ”

Lu Hui sat down, with a smile on his face, and said jokingly: "Listening to Da Zhongzheng's words, it seems that there is something interesting about it, so it is better to say it and let everyone listen to it." ”

"It's good!" Seeing that everyone was looking forward to it, Zhang Zihua gave Lu Hui a face, and said, "Then I'll talk to everyone!" He sat up straight and said, "One year in Jinling, I traveled with a few friends in the spring, and when I went to the foot of the North Mountain, I saw a man who was barefoot and short-bound, sweating like rain, ploughing the fields, and pointed to the letter and said: 'This back is a dragon and a tiger, and it is a nobleman!'" ’。 Everyone didn't believe it, but when they stepped forward to see it, it was the king of Changsha and his old man...... Later, after the preaching of the king of Changsha, people all over the world thought that I was good at discernment, but in fact, it was not! ”

The room was full of people who listened so carefully that they were silent. Zhang Zihua paused, seemed to remember the past, and his eyes showed a bit of cunning that only a naughty boy can have, and said: "The reason why I recognize the King of Changsha is because he pinned a pu kui fan to his waist, and the four words on the fan are the four words 'living with the ancients' written by me myself." Hence the knowledge! ”

Zhu Fayan didn't make a sound, but an elderly monk who was waiting on the side smiled and said: "Dazhongzheng used to be friendly with the king of Changsha......

"Presumptuous!" Du Mingyu picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and the middle-aged Taoist priest standing behind him immediately reprimanded: "What are your intentions? Is it ironic that Dazhong is orthodox with the clan? ”

The old monk said: "The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, the king of Changsha died two years ago, where did the poor monk come from?" It's just that my heart has not moved, but the heart of the layman has moved! ”

The middle-aged Taoist priest was speechless for a moment, and secretly looked at Du Mingyu, his eyes flustered and frightened. Du Mingyu didn't raise his head, he still drank tea, and it seemed that the tea in the cup attracted him more than all the people and things around him.

The friendship between the clan and the courtiers has never been a big deal in the Chu State, from the crown prince to the county king, almost all of them are inextricably linked with the court. But An Ziyi, the king of Changsha, is different, he is An Zidao's elder brother, and when he was young, he fought with An Zidao for the throne. Later, An Zidao inherited the unification, An Ziyi bowed his head and became a minister, closed the door of the house, easily did not go out, and did not visit friends, and almost lived a life of isolation until his death.

The old monk may really be unintentional, but such words are always taboo, and it is better not to mention it. Besides, if it weren't for the life of the King of Changsha, it would no longer be an obstacle and a thorn in the eye of today, and the crime of befriending courtiers would have reached An Zidao's ears, Zhang Zihua's career would probably be in jeopardy.

Xu You listened to He Wei talk about the Taiji Hall Buddhism and Taoism in the past, and the Heavenly Master Dao was defeated, and today I saw it, sure enough, the mouth of the Buddha Gate is much more sharp than the Taoist Gate, the old monk is a little sharp, and the middle-aged Taoist priest has no power to fight back, and he makes a judgment!

It seems that Sun Guan has only cared about making money all these years, but he has forgotten to train his disciples in the art of language and the methods of debate. To understand that the essence of preaching is a kind of spiritual brainwashing, without eloquence, and cannot be taken orally, how can we be convinced? If you are not convinced, you are not sincere, how can you compete with Buddhism for territory and grab people's heads?

The argument between the two was not taken seriously in Zhang Zihua's ears, if he was careful and taboo to such a point, this official would be boring, so it was better to resign, explaining: "The King of Changsha has not asked about the world for decades, let alone befriended the courtiers, I have never met him." This pampertail is transported to Jinling by my fellow villagers to sell, but there is no way, I can't sell three or five a day, and in the end I don't even have a coil to go home, so I have no choice but to ask for my door. Thinking of the friendship of fellow villagers, I can't see death without saving, so I found Yuan Can Yuan Shilang, and asked him to go in and out of the court and the market with a pu kui fan in his hand, within three days, immediately popular in Kyoto, everyone rushed to buy, my villager made enough money, and the last one was given to me. The fan is full of the fragrance of the leaves of the palmetto, the workmanship is simple and clumsy, but it is also lovely, who knows that I just wrote the words "with the ancients", he ran to the door with a sad face, saying that the king of Changsha also wants to buy a fan, but he has no surplus goods in his hands, thinking about it, he has to beg me with a thick face to go to the errand......"

Gu Yun stroked his palm and said, "I see! Although Dazhongzheng didn't know the king of Changsha, he recognized this pu kui fan, so he concluded that this farmer was unspeakably expensive, which is the so-called reputation of fraud! ”

Zhang Zihua laughed heartily and said, "Exactly! Everyone in the world says that I am good at discernment, but how can I know the true taste! Hahaha! ”

Everyone laughed with Dazhongzheng, although Zhang Zihua said it was interesting, but it could only be listened to as a celebrity anecdote, as he said, it should not be true.

When the laughter stopped, Zhang Zihua said again: "The upper seat is proficient in the Divine Physiognomy Sutra, which is much more powerful than me, Mr. Nanguo, who is indiscriminate, and I will take this as an example to give me some advice!" ”

Zhu Fayan couldn't refuse, and said: "Dazhongzheng is humble, then, the monk is ugly!" He opened his eyes again, looked at Lu Xu for a moment, and said: "God looks at people, regardless of flesh, bones, or appearance, the Tao can give birth to form, but the form cannot give birth to the Tao, flesh and bone are form, only God is the way to view people." This Lang Jun is like the sun rising, his spirit is clear, and he is naturally a nobleman! ”

He changed his words and said, "However, among all the scholars, he is not extremely expensive!" His eyes suddenly opened, like light and electricity, and he looked directly at Xu You, and said: "The beauty and jade in the stone do not need to be distinguished, a little divine light is primordial, and all the monarchs in the seat regard it as precious!" ”
