Chapter 249
"Joining the army, are you wondering if I have any relationship with Dick?" Zhao Guang asked with a smile.
Di Renjie nodded and said, "Don't hide it from Patriarch Zhao, after I saw him that day, I went home and asked my father. But unfortunately, my father didn't seem to know about it......"
"Don't say he doesn't know, even I don't." Zhao Guang smiled and explained, "I, I have no relationship with the Di family.
It's just that the Di family is a big family, and I didn't hear many people tell the story of the Di family when I was young, so I was quite surprised. ”
Such an explanation is difficult for Di Renjie to believe.
After all, Zhao Guang was talking about Di Du Du that day. And the people who call Di Zhixon the governor of Kuizhou are all people who know that Di Zhixon served as the governor of Kuizhou, or who has lived in Kuizhou.
Coincidentally, when Di Renjie was thinking like this, Zhao Guang said again: "Does Di know where I learned my medical skills when I joined the army?" ”
"Kuizhou?"
"Hahaha, Di is really good at joining the army, it is Kuizhou.
Speaking of which, this matter is due to Didus Doke.
That was more than ten years ago, when I happened to transport a batch of medicinal materials from Bingzhou to Kuizhou, but when I was about to leave, there was a plague in Kuizhou.
As a result, we couldn't leave and were trapped in Kuizhou.
To tell you the truth, at that time, I was ready to die.
Unexpectedly, with a stroke of the pen, Di Dudu asked all the Lang Chinese medicine shops in Kuizhou to be opened to treat the people in the city, and all the expenses were hung on the accounts of the government.
However, Rao is so, there was another problem in Kuizhou at that time, that is, there were not enough Langzhong, not only not enough, but even very few.
There was no way, and Didudu began to recruit people who could help the whole city, and the wages were still high.
At that time, I relied on my literacy, so I went to a pharmacy to help, and I came and went, learned a little bit of medicine, and made some money to come back......"
This kind of explanation is reluctantly said in the past, but Di Renjie still feels wrong.
He had heard his father say that it was about fifteen years ago.
But looking at Zhao Guang's appearance, fifteen years ago, he was close to forty years old, which does not correspond to the medical skills he learned when he was young.
However, Di Renjie did not stupidly question Zhao Guang's statement, but said with emotion, he didn't expect such a relationship.
As he was talking, Di Renjie suddenly saw Xiao Su coming from afar. immediately said to Zhao Advertising and went to Xiao Su.
"How?"
"Zhao Si was not there, I heard that I went to the White Horse Temple early in the morning to offer incense.
Moreover, there are two people in his family who are helping him clean up and put things in place today, I asked, and said that it was arranged by the patriarch. ”
Di Renjie thought for a while and said in a low voice: "It's a coincidence, I originally planned to go to the White Horse Temple today, since Zhao Si also went to the White Horse Temple, then there will be no delay, and we will go over now." ”
"What about the Zhao family?"
"Since the Zhao family has been hidden by them, it is not appropriate to be too tough at this time, just go back and arrange for two people to come and keep an eye on it.
Let's go to the White Horse Temple first. ”
After speaking, Di Renjie took a few steps back, exchanged a few words with Zhao Guang, and left Zhaojiatai with Xiao Su under the pretext of going back to the yamen, and rushed straight to the White Horse Temple.
The White Horse Temple is not far away, out of Zhaojiatai, all the way to the southwest, walk for half an hour to arrive.
Along the way, Di Renjie and Xiao Su met several groups of people who went to the White Horse Temple.
Xiao Su stopped several groups of people, and they all said that today was the abbot's lecture, so they all had to go.
On weekdays, there wouldn't be so many people.
However, compared with the cold in previous years, it is already much more lively.
I have to say that Hakubaji Temple is really a bit unique compared to other temples.
Take Suixi as an example, Di Renjie's impression is that many temples collect money, but this White Horse Temple only collects things, not money.
For example, incense candles, sesame oil, vegetables, melons and fruits can be used as joy.
And for pilgrims like Di Renjie and Xiao Su who did not bring anything with them, the monk was also kind to him, not only did not mention the happy things, but told the two that the temple had incense, candles, and oil, which could be used by themselves.
Di Renjie made a rough estimate, not counting the people who practiced in the temple, but just the believers who participated in the big fa hui, and he had fired three hundred people.
The huge lecture hall was full.
As the sound of the Buddha's horn sounded, an old monk about sixty years old with white eyebrows appeared in Di Renjie's field of vision.
As far as the face of the old monk is concerned, it can be called a kind eyebrow.
I saw the old monk clasping his hands together, and the gentleman said "Amitabha", and then talked about the scriptures.
What the old monk is talking about today is a small passage from the Lotus Sutra that Master Sanzang brought back from the Western Regions.
As long as the content is nothing more than something that persuades people to do good.
Di Renjie listened well, but Xiao Su couldn't help but have a big head when he listened.
After all, Xiao Su's experience taught him that being kind to others is not necessarily a good thing.
In his opinion, all he can do is not to be evil to others......
After the old abbot finished speaking, it was a similar procedure for answering questions and solving doubts.
When all of this is done, the morning is basically over.
Lunch is the most important meal for monks and students of Buddhism.
Because the Buddhists pay attention to not eating at lunch, so at lunchtime, the whole temple eats all ages.
Naturally, it is impossible to eat some big fish and meat in the temple, but it is just a bowl of somen noodles.
In such a summer, a bowl of somen noodles fished out of cold water with a few condiments tastes delicious.
However, Di Renjie and Xiao Su don't seem to have a high appetite for the delicious food in the bowl.
While eating, the two kept an eye on a table not far from them.
That table was the table where the old abbot ate.
Just when Di Renjie saw that the old abbot had finished eating the noodles in the bowl and was about to get up to greet him, a person suddenly sat down next to Di Renjie.
The person who came was Di Renjie's acquaintance, and it was Huiyue who took a few little monks to the bottom of the mountain yesterday.
As soon as Huiyue saw Di Renjie, she said with a smile: "I didn't expect the little monk to be so close to the benefactor." ”
Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, and said politely: "There is indeed a fate." As he spoke, the old abbot had already left the dining hall, and Di Renjie couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Huiyue looked at Di Renjie and then looked at the direction in which the old abbot left, and suddenly understood in her heart, so she immediately asked Di Renjie if he wanted to find the old abbot.
After Di Renjie nodded, Hui Yue immediately responded, and told Di Renjie with a smile that before his homework in the afternoon, he would take Di Renjie to meet the old abbot.
As for why it is inconvenient now, Hui Yue said that it is because the abbot is old and has the habit of resting and meditating at noon.
