Chapter 7 (26) First Sight of Nanyang (II)

Shang Cheng froze, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

He was not stunned by the problem itself, but because of the tone and tone in which He Di spoke. Whether it is in Yanshan or in Jingshi, there are not a few people who know that he has become a monk, not only are there many people talking behind his back, but there are also people who are curious to ask him face-to-face, but no matter whether the person asking the question is the general of Shangzhuguo or the Liubu Shilang, he has never met a person like the young monk in front of him! This rude rhetoric, this aggressive tone...... Hey, is this monk still arraigning a prisoner?

He picked up the porcelain cup and sipped the tea first, and then said to Nanyang: "It's all old things, if it weren't for Daoist Qingluan mentioning it, I would have lost my mind." He slowly put down the bowl, and let out a long sigh as if he was extremely emotional about the unbearable past, as if he had inadvertently glanced at He Di, and then lowered his head again. He was leaving room for Hedi, and at the same time, he was also suggesting that the monk should stop in moderation. He thought, since this monk is well-known and has close contacts with people like Princess Nanyang, then no matter how much he doesn't know things, he should understand a little: he can sit in this study in all directions, and he has a lukewarm attitude towards Nanyang, no need to ask, his identity and origin must be unusual, what to say at this time and what not to say, He Di should have a weighing in his heart.

Ke He Di is obviously not the smart person Shang Cheng imagined. With a smirk on his face, he immediately asked, "Is Shang Gong unwilling to mention the past, or can't he talk about the past?" ”

Shang Cheng lowered his eyelids, stared indifferently at a brazier placed in the corner, and said lightly after a long time: "Even if you can't say it." ”

Even if he is blind, he can now hear from Shang Cheng's tone that he is very taboo about his monastic and vulgar things. If someone else, even if it's out of politeness, they won't ask any more questions at this time. But he obviously didn't realize it. He stared at Shang Cheng for a long time, chuckled and said leisurely: "I worship the Buddha, Emperor Taizong once sent Shi Lu Xin to worship the Buddha sincerely, below Gaozong, the past generations of holy monarchs and clans do not know how many practitioners at home, and it has always been regarded as a matter of great righteousness by the officials and the people as monks. But I don't know why Shang Gong has to hide his head and tail so timidly? ”

He smiled lightly in the spring breeze on his face, and his voice was not loud, and he talked like a willow in the warm breeze, it seemed that it was an old friend reuniting and reminiscing about the past, and Nanyang didn't care much at the beginning, just smiled and watched how Shang Cheng coped, and when he heard the vicious ridicule hidden in He Di's words, he wanted to drink again, but where was the time. Even the young man who was standing by the door also heard that the meaning of the words was wrong, and his heart was beating in fright, because of his identity and he couldn't stop it, and he couldn't do anything about it, so he could only put on a pale little face, and looked at the bookshelf on the opposite wall with his eyes wide open......

Shang Cheng didn't have any expression. He didn't seem to understand what He Di said at all, and he didn't even look up, and took out the silver box to change the medicine cotton by himself. There were several fires burning in the house, and although they were all of the finest charcoal, the charcoal gas was getting heavier and heavier, and it made his eyes very uncomfortable. He really didn't want to get entangled with He Diduo. Does this monk really think that by hooking up with a princess, he will increase his status? Do you have to use this boring thing to raise your value in front of your lover? He wanted to stab this guy a few times! On second thought, forget it. Anyway, Nanyang is also Chen Pu's sister, and if she doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, she has to leave some affection for Chen Pu.

Hum! If it weren't for Chen Pu's affection, he really wanted to leave immediately!

When he didn't speak, He Di thought he was timid, and continued with a sneer: "Could it be that Shang Gong really has something that cannot be said to others? ”

This was said too much, and even Nanyang couldn't listen to it. She was about to scold, when she saw Shang Cheng point his finger at He Di, shook his head and said with a smile: "Mad monk......"

"Shang Gong is right, this monk is indeed a mad monk!" As soon as the door curtain was lifted, Chen Pu, who was dressed as a scribe, walked in in response, stood by the door and bowed his hand to Shang Cheng first, "There is something temporary, and the labor is waiting for a long time, and it is too much." He said to Nanyang again, "My sister is here too?" He glanced at He Di who stood up to greet him, and his heart was like eating a fly, how greasy and greasy it was, and he was full of thoughts about ignoring this person, but how could he forget the noble demeanor and solemn cultivation of the heavenly family that he had cultivated in the past 20 years? She was angry again, and she couldn't do rude and unruly things, so she nodded and arched her hand indiscriminately, and instructed Jiao'er to change the seat with her eyes, and sat down between Nanyang and Shang Cheng.

She took the teapot from Jiao'er's hand, refilled the tea for Shang Cheng first, and asked with a smile, "Is your business done?" ”

Shang Cheng wanted to teach He Di a few words, but when she interrupted him like this, he simply forgot it, so he nodded and said, "It's all done." ”

"When will you be back?"

Shang Cheng didn't speak immediately, and glanced at Liao Pheasant at the door first. There has been no news of Liao Pheasant for more than ten days, and he thought that Liao Pheasant had changed his mind halfway. But now that I saw Liao Pheasant looking at herself, I knew that this girl was determined to get along with Tian Xiaowu, nodded to her slightly, and said to Chen Pu with a smile: "There is still one big thing to do." Wait until that's done. Liao Pheasant immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He continued, "But you'll have to nod your head to do the same. ”

Chen Pu also added tea to Nanyang, and when he heard him say this, he turned around and asked him, "What's the matter?" ”

Shang Cheng said: "I can't say it yet. All in all a good thing. ”

He was telling the truth. This is Liao Pheasant's lifelong event, and she first proposed it, so before her parents nodded and agreed, he really couldn't take it out and publicize it. Even if this is done, he has to hide it for Liao Pheasant, otherwise if it spreads, the girl's face and the reputation of the Liao family will inevitably be a little unpleasant. Besides, there are outsiders in this room, one by one, Liao Pheasant, Chen Pu, of course, they are not counted one by one, and he can't say anything.

Chen Pu probably already knew that he was going to Liao's house to propose marriage, so he smiled and stopped asking, turned around and said to Nanyang: "I just went into the inner city, and my mother gave me some clothes, fragrant tea and jewelry, which made it clear that you and I were each half; I was going to tell you about it, and I'm going to find someone to send it to you. My sister came just in time, and I happened to bring it with me when I went. ”

Nanyang was not interested in these small things, so he replied and asked Chen Pu: "Rouge slave, you and Shang Gong are old acquaintances, do you know where Shang Gong became a monk and where he received his ordination?" She glanced at He Di and said, "Just now, the great monk was making friendship with Shang Gong, but Shang Gong ignored this 'mad monk'. ”

Chen Pu glanced at Nanyang with dissatisfaction. She knew her sister too well. Nanyang is obviously instigating He Tu to provoke the blind man. She couldn't help but want to wake up her sister and He Di, they couldn't afford to provoke this person. This is not an ordinary official, but a general of Wei Zhen, a figure who even has to give three points to the prime minister when he meets, not to mention that a widowed princess and a crazy monk can't afford to provoke, even ordinary princes and princes don't dare to offend this person! Besides, this person is not only valued by Xiao Jian, but I heard that the Prime Minister's public office also has a very high evaluation of him, even ......

Thinking of this, she suddenly cut off her train of thought.

She also smiled and glanced at He Di, who was pointing at Shang Cheng with a smile, and got up and ordered someone to arrange a banquet in the front hall. Well, if this mad monk didn't have the eyesight to find death herself, she wouldn't have saved him!

He Di is not a person without eyes. He is a native of Yizhou, and at the age of six he became a monk in the Buddhist temple Jianyuan Temple, and studied Buddhism under the seat of the high monks; At the age of thirteen, he moved to Daci Temple in Chengdu with the master, specializing in "The Theory of the Land of Yogis" and "Huayan Sutra", and at the age of 21, he became a sensation because of his lecture on "Three Realms Idealism and Ten Thousand Laws and Wisdom" in Xiling Temple in Chang'an. Since then, he has been stationed in Chang'an, Xi, until this spring, when he was invited by Feng'an Temple to Shangjing to preach Buddhism, and even though he became famous for his "only knowledge and patience" and tea art, articles and Buddhist paintings. This young monk with clear eyebrows and handsome appearance has both vision, literary brilliance, and eloquence, and is versatile, suave and familiar with the rules and regulations of the world, to say that he can't see Shang Cheng's strange way of coming, it is simply impossible. But there is one bad thing about Hedi, that is, he is too persistent in his beliefs, especially for those monks who are still layman, and he tries his best to sarcastically attack one by one, which is why he suddenly targeted Shang Cheng......

Of course, Shang Cheng could not have fully known about these experiences of He Di. He just remembered that others had told him that the temple where the monk was ordained was Chengdu Daci Temple. Because the direction of his research in graduate school was the intersection and mutual penetration of idealism and materialism, and religion is an important embodiment of idealism, he went to Chengdu Daci Temple several times during the holidays and knew that it was Tang Xuanzang's ordination temple; And Tang Xuanzang is the founder of the Dharma Wisdom Sect. It is conceivable that this monk is probably also a Wisdom Sect, firmly believing in "Dharma Vision" and "Ten Thousand Laws Wisdom...... He had a rough understanding of the theories of the Enlightenment Sect, and he had read several texts of the sect, but now was not the time for dialectics. He was neither interested in telling the story he had made up, nor in telling He Di that he was not actually a monk.

In fact, he was now running out of patience because of Hedi's entanglement.

He's not a talker, he's not a thinker, and he really doesn't want to sit here and listen to a fanatical believer in Buddhism! Especially this guy still has a prejudice against him!

But he saw his silence and impatience as his victory. In order to celebrate this debate that left his opponent speechless, he was so proud that he even casually chanted a small word from the audience:

"Candle tears,

Candle tears,

Silent horror ghosts.

Cloud plate low conjuring,

The moon is shining and the night is amazing.

Shocked,

Shocked,

Zhong Kui is now in shape. ”

As soon as this small order came out, Nanyang who was present and Chen Pu, who had ordered his subordinates to prepare a wine banquet, broke out in a cold sweat, and Liao Pheasant and Jiao'er, who were standing at the head of the door, were even more earthy, and they didn't dare to say anything. The room was as silent as death. Sky! This monk is really not afraid of death, and he dares to tease the admiral of Weizhen in the imperial court in person?!

Shang Cheng held the teacup with a smile, and slowly put the teacup away until He Di finished reciting a small order. He ran his fingers over the few drops of water splashed on the low table, and said slowly without raising his head: "You are indeed a mad monk. Do you know who I am? ”

Whether Shang Cheng was thunderous or fists and feet, He Di was prepared, but Shang Cheng's lukewarm words were much beyond his expectations. He wanted to ridicule, "It's just a half-footed monk who covets red dust", who knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, he was covered by Shang Cheng's deep gaze, and an invisible pressure instantly taught him to feel difficult even to breathe.

Shang Cheng didn't immediately continue. Pressing the water stain with his fingers, he pushed the puddle of tea out of the low table firmly and slowly. A few crystal clear water droplets fell on the green bricks on the ground, like a few hammers hitting the tips of Chen Pu's hearts, and suddenly the same thought surged in everyone's hearts: He Di is resting!

"You don't know who I am, and you dare to sing such words? You know, based on the poem you just read, I am now slashing you in two pieces in the study of this princess's mansion, and no one dares to come out and say that I did something wrong! Chop you," Shang Cheng wiped his fingers on his robe, a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth. "It's like killing a chicken."

He clapped his hands and stood up, and then didn't look at He Di, who was sweating profusely and slumped in the seat, nor did he look at Nanyang, who was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, he only arched his hand towards Chen Pu, who was in a state of flux:

"Princess Changsha has a heart, this tea is really good. That's all for today. I have something else to do, so I won't eat. Leave! ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Chen Pu to return the salute, lifted the curtain and took a big stride away. When Chen Pu woke up and chased out of the door of the study, where could Shang Cheng's shadow be seen under the long corridor......

She walked back with a blushing face, ignoring her sister, pointing at He Di and ordering: "Someone! Knock this mad monk out! Pass my order, this person dares to appear on the plain ground again," she glared at He Di, her eyes almost spewed fire, and she gritted her teeth and burst out of her teeth, "One by one, he will be executed for the crime of rebellion!" ”
