Chapter 348: Debate Monk

Early the next morning, Chen Fei got up early, practiced Tai Chi, washed his face carefully, brushed his teeth, and prepared to go out.

The reason why I wash my face and brush my teeth seriously... It used to be washed only once, but now it has become washed three times, and that's it.

Picking out a dark blue, self-righteous robe, and combing a handsome hairstyle, Chen Fei took Yin Pingxing out of the door.

"Huh? This stinky boy, early in the morning, why is he dressed up so sassy? Dad scratched his head when he saw Chen Fei leaving, and finally shook his head and sighed: "Hey! If only I went to see my daughter-in-law! It's a pity that I don't know where my daughter-in-law is now, and I don't know when I will be able to hold my grandson. ”

.............

After Chen Fei came to Chang'an City, he found that the atmosphere seemed to be a little different, first of all, the guards of Chang'an City Gate were much more vigilant than usual, like Chen Fei, who often went in and out of Chang'an City, and had already known the soldiers guarding the gate, he was also stopped to verify his identity.

Walking into the city, there were almost no people in the originally lively street, and only Chen Fei and Yin Ping were walking on the road on horseback, which looked a little weird and scary.

"Hey, big brother, what happened today?" Finally, he met a big living person on the street, and Chen Fei hurriedly went up and asked.

"Huh? You don't know yet? I said, are you from Chang'an City? Why is it so ill-informed? General Li has returned from the border exercise, so Chang'an City is about to implement street cleaning, if you have nothing to do, hurry up, don't get in the way of the main road, be careful of being taken by the soldiers! ”

"What? General Lee is back? Are you saying that General Li Jing and General Li are back? Chen Fei asked.

The man rolled his eyes at Chen Fei. "Aren't you talking nonsense? In addition to General Li Jing, which other general with luggage is going out on the expedition? ”

Chen Fei....... He really doesn't know yet!

The man glanced at Chen Fei with disdain, and then left in a hurry.

After a while, some officials poured water on the quiet street, drove away idle people, etc., and vacated the main road to prepare for Li Jing and others who would come back later.

Chen Fei did not rush to Huichang Temple, but found an inconspicuous corner and waited for Li Jing to come back.

In any case, Li Jing can be regarded as half of his elders, and when the elders return victoriously, he naturally wants to congratulate him, not to mention that Li Jing treats him well.

At about noon, the city gate quickly came to report: "Report! General Li is still three miles away from the city gate, and he is about to enter the city, pay attention to precautions! Idle people and others will all dodge! ”

After the fast horses left, after a while, there was the sound of "stamping" iron horses at the city gate. Following the prestige, I saw the tall banner erected and the black oppressive figure, and I couldn't tell who was who.

The flag in the middle has the word "Li" written on it, which must be Li Jing's handsome flag, and the flags on both sides of him are the words "Niu" and "Hou", which must be Niu Jinda and Hou Junji who went out with Li Jing.

After the troops were slowly marching, Chen Fei finally saw Li Jing, a handsome middle-aged man riding a horse and heroic.

Li Jing also saw Chen Fei for the first time, the two looked at each other, smiled tacitly, Chen Fei immediately gave Li Jing a big gift, and waited until Li Jing rode away Chen Fei left.

"Brother Yin, let's go."

"Are you going to General Li's mansion tonight?" Yin Ping suddenly asked.

"Oops, you've been a little clever lately." Chen Fei laughed and said: "It's a pity, your little cleverness is still a little hot, we won't go to General Li's mansion to eat today." ”

"Why?"

Chen Fei glanced at Yin Ping: "No, people finally came back from going out to fight, so naturally they want to accompany their families immediately, how can they have a banquet as soon as they come back?" Just look at it, it is impossible to go to Li Jing's mansion today, and the day after tomorrow at the latest, General Li will definitely come to invite me to the mansion. ”

Yin Ping thought about it and finally admitted it honestly. "I'm not as good as you in this regard, maybe that's why my master said that I'm not suitable for learning hexagrams."

"Oh, don't pay attention to your master, what is suitable or not? It is because he has so many little ninety-nine in his heart, so it has led to the loss of similar folk stunts in the long river of history, you should discuss with your master, and ask him if he is willing to pass on this hexagram to me if it is really useful, and I will carry it forward for him. ”

Yin Ping shook his head resolutely: "No, I can't betray my master!" ”

Chen Fei....... That's why serious people hate it the most!

Leaving the main street, Chen Fei rushed all the way to the Huichang Temple in the northwest of the city, if nothing else, Linchuan has been waiting here for a long time, and I don't know if she has left.

Although Huichang Temple is located in the northwest of the city, in a relatively remote corner, its incense is very vigorous, even in the Tang Dynasty, where the state religion is Taoism, there is still an endless stream of people who make incense every day.

"This is Xuanzang's hometown!" Chen Fei sighed as he looked at the gate of Huichang Temple, where people were coming in and out with incense in hand.

"Who is Xuanzang?" Since following Chen Fei, Yin Ping has spoken more, and occasionally asks Chen Fei something he doesn't understand.

"Xuanzang, it's a monk who went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, with a monkey, a pig, and a beard, a white dragon horse."

"I haven't heard of it." Yin Ping shook his head coldly.

"I know you haven't heard of it, but I can tell you his story slowly in the future, just call... Journey to the West. ”

Yin Ping showed a lack of interest, nodded in agreement, and without much language, Chen Fei and Xuanzang entered the temple together.

This is also the first time Chen Fei has entered a Buddhist temple since he came to the Tang Dynasty.

To tell the truth, the Buddhist temples of this era are very different from what he imagined, there is no magnificent decoration, there is no so-called "merit incense", and there is no "coin pool", some are just a few plainly dressed monks, while beating the wooden fish to chant the scriptures and practice, while silently saluting to the people who are incense or donating incense money.

However, their eyes are not as philistine as the monks of later generations, and it can be seen that these monks really regard money as something outside their bodies and do not care much.

Chen Fei also went up with the crowd to offer incense and worship a Buddha statue he had never seen before. After a casual salute, I wanted to turn around and look for Linchuan.

Suddenly, the little monk who was originally standing beside Chen Fei opened his eyes and stared at Chen Fei as he spoke. "Donor, since your heart is not sincere, why do you force yourself to come to this incense?"

Chen Fei looked back and found that this little monk was handsome and white, if it wasn't for his bald head, he was afraid that he was also a beautiful man whose appearance was not below him, so he couldn't help but ask: "This little master, does it have to be sincere when you come to incense?" Then why do you want to become a monk when you are so handsome? ”

The little monk was not angry with Chen Fei's thorny words, he smiled, and saluted Chen: "Donor, the so-called appearance, after all, is just a pair of skins, and monks should pursue kindness, beauty, and harmony, rather than chasing after their appearance." ”

After speaking, the little monk saluted Chen Fei respectfully.

"If the little monk offends the son, please ask the son Haihan, don't go to your heart."

"Don't forget to go in your heart, don't go to your heart." Chen Fei waved his hand, suddenly stared at him and asked curiously. "Little monk, what's your name?"

"Little monk...... Debate machine. ”
