Yin Ji asked with concern whether the scientific expedition between Master and Lu Renxiang went well.

Lu Renxiang said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "This time, I have to rely on my brother to honor our ancestors for the Lu family!" ”

"The results haven't come out yet, don't worry!" Lu Zuo comforted.

Lu Zuo washed up, took Lu Renxiang and Yin Ji with him, and went to knock on the guest room of the Gao Han brothers next door, and after knocking for a long time, the younger brother Gao Yun opened the door to greet him, so everyone went downstairs to eat breakfast together.

It's a much warmer February day than the previous day, and a few cherry blossoms are already blooming on the streets. So Gao Yun proposed that everyone go to Kuji Temple to go to the spring, although it is early spring, but the plum blossoms there are blooming brilliantly at this time, Lu Zuo thought that he had not seen the master for a long time, so he readily agreed.

Several people rented a carriage from the shopkeeper and rushed to Kuji Temple. In early spring, the scenery along the road is different from last month, and the green shoots on the willow branches on the roadside are in full bloom, which is very interesting. A row of plum blossoms planted in front of Kuji Temple is in full bloom at this time, fluttering and sprinkling, falling and colorful.

After the group got off the carriage, they stepped on the plum blossoms all over the ground and came to the mountain gate of Kuji Temple. The magnificent mountain gate, in contrast to which there are no other pilgrims except for a few novices who sweep the floor.

Three or four little novices, who were only more than ten years old, recognized the Lu brothers from a distance, and shouted happily from a distance of several zhang: "Uncle Lu, eh! Uncle Lu ......"

A few little novices directly threw down the broom in their hands and ran straight to Lu Zuo, and then threw themselves into Lu Zuo's arms as if they were coquettish.

Lu Zuole smiled uncontrollably, "Okay, okay!" Do you think I've brought you something delicious? With that, he took the food wrapped in oil paper from Lu Renxiang's hand.

The little novices watched intently as Lu Zuo slowly opened the package, and everyone saw that it was a dozen or so fragrant muffins, and several novices drooled when they saw it, but they all endured their saliva, looked up at Lu Zuo, and didn't dare to make a mistake.

Lu Zuo smiled slightly, "Zhiming, you can take it and share it for everyone!" Tell my master, I've come to visit his old man! With that, he gave the muffin in his hand to one of the taller and thinner novices.

Zhiming took the muffin cake and said "yes" and rushed straight ahead, followed by the other two novices, bouncing back to the temple.

Lu Zuo and a few people stood on the stone bridge in front of the mountain gate, looking at a few red plum trees at the door, reflected in the stream under the bridge, the scenery was indeed beautiful.

Gao Han asked Lu Zuo curiously: "I heard that the old Zen master is Brother Lu's master?" Is there such a thing? ”

"Exactly!" Lu Zuo didn't explain much, only said lightly.

Gao Han smiled half-jokingly and half-courteously: "Brother Lu, can you help introduce me!" ”

Lu Zuo nodded slightly, and didn't answer, but felt that Gao Han was a little more eager than his younger brother Gao Yun. Looking at his flattering eyes just now, it was extremely uncomfortable.

Gao Yun laughed and gave a thumbs up, "Big brother, younger brother heard that the Zen master is an extraordinary character, and he followed the saint to expand the territory and make contributions, but later he was able to give up his family business and become a monk." Little brother, I really admire such a character! ”

Lu Zuo looked at Gao Yun with appreciation, nodded and said: "This is the way of the world, the peace of the world depends on the bloody struggle of the soldiers, but after the world is calm, the soldiers are not allowed to sit and enjoy the peace!" ”

Lu Zuo said that he was also emotional, and everyone saw that Lu Zuo suddenly had such a rebellious emotion, and they all looked at each other and were silent for a moment.

Gao Yun didn't care, "Big brother, I have to ...... when I look at the world"

"Gao Yun ......" Gao Han immediately interrupted his younger brother's words, and then looked at Lu Zuo with a pleasant face and said, "Mr. Lu, let's go to the temple first, you see, didn't the little novice come out!" ”

Sure enough, the little novice named Zhiming just now was running out happily and shouting, "Uncle Lu, Master Ancestor invites you in!" Seeing Lu Zuo nodding his head, Zhiming disappeared again.

Lu Zuo and the others came to the meditation room of the old Zen master, and waited for a while before seeing the old Zen master come out of the ear room. Several people saluted each other and sat back down.

Lu Zuoyi introduced the old Zen master, so the old Zen master only nodded every time, and when Lu Zuo introduced Gao Yun, the old Zen master smiled and nodded.

That Gao Yun is also a straightforward person, seeing that the old Zen master is so appreciative, he quickly stood up and hugged his fists to give a big salute, "I have admired the name of the master for a long time, and the younger generation is so polite!" ”

Therefore, it is known that the Zen master recited the Buddha together, "Gao Shi's words are serious." ”

Therefore, the Zen master and Lu Zuo exchanged pleasantries before asking: "Gongfu, is there anything wrong with coming here as a teacher this time?" ”

Lu Zuo replied respectfully: "I just came to visit Master!" ”

"It's as simple as that?"

Lu Zuo hesitated for a moment, and suddenly lost his words, and he didn't know whether to say it or not.

"Just say anything!" Therefore, the Zen master had already seen Lu Zuo's thoughts.

Lu Zuo looked at the people around, and Lu Renxiang, Yin Ji, and the brothers Gao Han and Gao Yun didn't seem to have anything to avoid, "Master, I want to ask you, how to play this game of chess next?" ”

Therefore, the Zen master's face sank like water, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly: "This chess master has already helped you play, hasn't it?" ”

"Oh?" Lu Zuo frowned, "But whether to stick to black or white, it's really hard to decide!" ”

Therefore, the Zen master stroked his beard and smiled: "Holding black or white, for the teacher to believe in your ability, for you, winning or losing is the most important thing!" ”

Everyone watched the dialogue between the two of them full of Zen machines, and they all listened like the second monk, Yin Ji and Gao Yun asked directly: "What kind of dumb riddle are you playing?" ”

Lu Zuo didn't pay attention to the two of them, and continued to ask: "But it's up to me to choose black and white, but it's heaven to win or lose!" ”

"What? Scared? So the Zen master asked rhetorically.

Yin Ji wanted to continue to ask, but when he saw his master's eyes for the first time, there was a terrible killing intent in the hollow, and he was afraid to swallow deeply if he wanted to ask.

Lu Zuo had a fierce light in his eyes, pursed his lips, and showed a sly and hateful smile, "The moment I stepped out of Lujiazhuang, I never thought of turning back!" ”

Lu Renxiang seemed to hear some extraneous sounds, these words must be related to his father's case, but he didn't expect that his brother had not forgotten his father's hatred all along, but had been enduring humiliation, and now that he thinks about it, he is indeed much more tender than his brother.

Lu Zuo saw that the master did not answer, and thought of the master's situation, so he asked, "Master, will I bring trouble to you if I come to see you like this?" ”

Therefore, the Zen master laughed, "Trouble? Don't worry! It's you, and your situation will be even more dangerous next! ”
