Chapter 218, The Rainstorm (1)
Kong Zhang's move frightened Zheng Sen, because this move meant that Kong Zhang was going to worship Zheng Sen as a teacher. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Zheng Sen's academic achievements now, if he is a little older, has a long beard, and accepts a Xiucai as an apprentice, it is not unreasonable. It's just that at this time, Zheng Sen didn't even reach the age of a weak crown, and Kong Zhang was nearly ten years older than Zheng Sen, and Zheng Sen always felt that something was not quite right when he accepted such a disciple.
"Brother Bangui, do you want everyone in the world to say that I am crazy?" Zheng Sen shook his head and said with a smile, "I think back then, Mr. Li Zhuowu's learning was not profound, and there were naturally a lot of extreme points, but there were more places that were reasonable and valuable. However, it is difficult for the world to tolerate it. What the kid said today, I'm afraid it's even more extreme than Li Zhuowu's, and if Brother Bangui comes out like this again, I will be laughed at by the world. ”
"Mencius said: 'Reflexiveness shrinks, although thousands of people go to me!' But there is something great about the little foolishness of the worldly people. Kong Zhang smiled, "What's so scary?" They laughed at me for being crazy, and I laughed at them for being stupid. Lao Tzu said: 'When the corporal hears the Tao, he laughs loudly, and if he doesn't laugh, it is not enough to be Tao.' If these fools don't laugh, then I'm really wrong." ”
Zheng Sen shook his head and said, "Brother Bangui is not afraid, but the kid is terribly afraid." After the kid wrote this book, he was so scared that he couldn't sleep well many times. Brother Bangui, Duke Zhou, the saint also, in the past, he was afraid of Cai's rumors and Zhou Gong's fear, who was afraid? Is it incomprehensible to the world? Confucius said: 'People don't know and are not ashamed, and they are not gentlemen?' 'Doesn't Duke Zhou know this? Those who are afraid of gossip confuse the people, and hurt the country. The boy is learning, not to use the name of the mountain to pass on to future generations, but to save the time. Du Zimei's poem said: 'Poor years are worried about Li Yuan, sighing for intestinal heat. 'Recently, a boat went up the river, all the way, I saw the white bones exposed in the wilderness, there was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and the image of the world was clear, and I was not worried? If there is prejudice in our journey because the people of the world say about us, and it is difficult to save us, there will be another layer of obstacles, and there will be fewer people in the world who can be saved. In this way, An can not be afraid? ”
When Kong Zhang heard this, his face changed, and he stayed there for a long time before he said: "I only learned today that I used to read books and read them all in the belly of a dog." It's just complacent. If you are scolded and crazy, you are really not wronged at all. Now...... What a shame. ”
Li Xiangjun also stood up, folded his hands and bowed to Zheng Sen: "In the past, I heard Monk Zhiyuan say that the Bodhisattva is 'feeling and sentient', but I don't know what is called 'feeling' and what is called 'sentient being'. Today, when I heard the teachings of Zheng Gongzi, I knew what it meant to be 'feeling affectionate'. Those who are 'enlightened' know the way of the world, and those who are 'sentient' cannot forget all sentient beings. Lao Tzu knows that if he comes out of the letter valley, if he is not Guan Yinzi, he will not leave a word to all sentient beings, and Yang Zi also knows, but he will not do anything to benefit the world, it is too forgetful. If Shennong, if Dashun, if Dayu, if Zhou Gong, if Master, if Mencius, if Brother Zheng, it is impossible to forget all living beings, so it is felt that there is affection. ”
Speaking of this, Li Xiangjun smiled again, like a spring flower blooming, full of brilliance, but said: "The former Zhiyuan monk Yun: 'Respect the Bodhisattva, the blessing is incredible. Today, I have the fate to see the Bodhisattva here, but I don't know how many generations I have cultivated, but I can't miss it. You need to take the opportunity to say a little more. ”
After saying this, Li Xiangjun really made a posture of kneeling, Zheng Sen hurriedly stepped forward, supported her, and said, "You also followed up to tease me!" ”
Li Xiangjun said with a smile: "What Xiaosheng said is the truth, how can there be teasing?" If you don't believe it, ask Brother Kong, is there anything wrong with what Xiao Sheng said? ”
Kong Zhang listened to Li Xiangjun's words, and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Brother Junfu is a true speaker, a true speaker, a speaker, a talker, a non-speaker, and a non-speaker. It's true. What the gentleman does, the true bodhisattva does. (The Diamond Sutra is the one who speaks the truth, the one who speaks, the one who speaks, the one who does not speak, and the one who does not speak differently)
"Bodhisattva, you see, I'm not talking nonsense." Li Xiangjun said with a smile.
"Junfu, you can do the five languages of Rulai, but why do you still worship me?" Zheng Sen also smiled and said, "The same is true of Brother Bangui, who is also a bodhisattva with bodhichitta and a bodhisattva. Well...... How did I become boastful? ”
As soon as he said this, Li Xiangjun and Kong Zhang couldn't hold back their laughter.
……
After a few days, the various details of the negotiation with Zuo Liangyu were also finalized one by one, and Zheng Sen was ready to go back. And in the past few days, Zuo Mengeng actually took people, caught a lot of middle-aged men and homeless people, and sent them to Zheng Sen, of course, Zheng Sen gave the silver according to the agreement, and then sent these people on the ship, and was ready to go back.
Zheng Sen is leaving, so he naturally wants to inform Kong Zhang. On the day of departure, he saw Kong Zhang running over with a big burden, and when he saw Zheng Sen, he said: "Da Mu, I have already informed my father, and I will follow you to be a bodhisattva in the future." You see how! ”
"Do you still have brothers in your family?" Zheng Sen asked.
"It's not Ziniu, there are two younger brothers at home, so Damu doesn't have to worry too much." Kong Zhang smiled, "Besides, I always like to cause trouble, and running away is not necessarily a bad thing for them." Well, do you have a bunk on your boat? ”
"There's a lot of people on board, you see. Only Li Xiang and Huan'er have a small room. I'm already squeezed with the sailors. As for Brother Bangui, you are going to get on the boat, but there is really no bunk, so you can only hang up and sleep. Zheng Sen said with a smile.
Kong Zhang heard that Zheng Sen had no objection, so he said happily: "If you hang it, you will hang it, as long as you can get on this boat, what are you afraid of?" ”
Zheng Sen said that he would hang up and sleep on the ship, but he was really not a lie. Now this ship is stuffed with more than 60 people by Zuo Menggeng in one go, plus the original passengers and sailors, it is crowded. Usually, the deck is used to stand people, and the matter of sleeping is made into four shifts of sleeping.
The boat is so crowded, naturally there is no place to put the bed, and you can only use a hammock that does not take up space to sleep, so Kong Zhang really lived a life of hanging up and sleeping. Fortunately, it was now going down the river, and the speed of the ship was much faster, but after a few days, the ship approached Nanjing.
"Tomorrow morning, we should be able to arrive in Nanjing. As long as you arrive in Nanjing, there will be more boats, so you can find a boat to divide these people. When the time comes, you can have a real bed and get a good night's sleep. Zheng Sen stood at the bow of the boat, looking up at the moon, and said to Kong Zhang, who was standing next to him. Because they took turns sleeping, although it was late at night, they could only admire the moon on the deck. Fortunately, it's already May, and the weather is much warmer.
"Well, it's not that you can't sleep in hammocks, it's just that the smell in the cabin is really ...... Still comfortable outside. Well, look over there, the clouds are rising! ”
Although it was not a full moon at this time, the moon was also very bright, and in the moonlight, Zheng Sen saw a large cloud in the sky rushing towards this side from afar. Looking at this cloud, Zheng Sen's face suddenly changed and said, "This is a storm!" But we have to find a shelter from the wind. Well, Han-kyu, let's go to the captain's room together. ”
Captain Cha also used to run boats on the Yangtze River, and later had the experience of begging for a living at sea, and when he saw the speed at which the clouds moved, he naturally knew what was going on. Fortunately, when they came all the way, the crew made a detailed record of the common terrain along the way. Captain Cha knew that just a little ahead, there was a place to shelter from the wind. When Zheng Sen entered the captain's room, he was arranging for shelter.
Zheng Sen didn't speak, first waited for him to arrange shelter from the wind, and watched the sailors go to their respective places before saying to the captain: "Look at this wind, I'm afraid it's not small." ”
"If our ship is a sea ship, this wind is nothing, and if there are not so many people on board, this wind will not be able to happen." "Now we should be able to find a place to anchor before the wind comes, and then we should let those people go ashore first to hide, these people don't understand anything, and something can really happen on board." So we have to get to a sheltered place before the clouds completely cover the moon. Otherwise, it would be pitch black, nothing could be seen, and there would be strong winds, so it would be strange if these people didn't have problems. ”
Zheng Sen nodded and said; "Now we all listen to you."
The Yasue stretched out its oars and began to accelerate. By this time the wind had become stronger, the clouds had come nearer, the moonlight had begun to darken, and the ship had begun to shake.
"Don't panic, don't move, you fell into the river at this time, but no one can save you!" There were still quite a few homeless people on deck, and the sailors hurriedly warned them, "Those on deck, hold on to the mast or hold on to the rope!" Anyway, find a place to fix yourself! ”
The river was completely dark, and now the moon was gone, the stars were gone, and the whole view was pitch black, except for the mast and a few lights on the ship. Fortunately, by this time the ship had entered a leeward harbor. The sailors sailed the boat very close to the shore, dropped anchor, and then lowered the boat and carried some people to the shore. At this moment, an electric light illuminated the entire surface of the river, followed by a deafening thunder, and then the raindrops began to crackle and fall.
Lightning and thunder followed, and the rain became heavier and heavier, but the wind was much lighter, which actually meant that the ship was safe.
There are also several wind lanterns lit up on the shore now, and the displaced people are now drenched in rain.
"The wind is light, wait a little longer, and after a while, if the wind stops, bring them into the boat, or else they will get sick in the rain." We should also hurry up and prepare some ginger soup on the ship......," Zheng Sen said.
"Da Mu, these things will be arranged by Captain Chai." Kong Zhang said, "There are some things that you have to do. ”
"What did you say?" Just a thunderbolt sounded, so that Zheng Sen didn't hear the next half of his sentence clearly.
"I mean, Damu, now that the thunder is so big, although the two girls Junfu and Huan'er are not ordinary women, they stay alone in the cabin, facing the wrath of heaven and earth, how can they not be afraid, you don't have to take care of the affairs here, someone will take care of them. You've got to give them courage! Kong Zhang replied.
