Almost all the villagers in the mountain village came to see them off. Huineng's uncle naturally came. He brought his little nephew some rare wild lychees that he picked by chance from the mountains, with large fruits, thick flesh, and extraordinarily sweet. Huineng refused to enjoy it alone, so he divided it among all the people. In the end, all he had left was a red lychee. People who have tasted wild lychees have smacked their tongues with endless aftertaste, saying that they have never eaten such a delicious variety. Huineng looked at the last lychee in his hand, thought for a moment, and instead of eating it in his stomach, he wanted to plant it in the yard.

The uncle said, "Silly boy, lychees need to be pressed to reproduce, and you can't grow them if you do this." ”

Huineng asked, "Uncle, have you ever planted lychees?" "Nope. I heard the old people say that lychees can't be sown. ”

"You haven't tried it, how can you be sure that lychees won't grow? Besides, since this lychee is very special and delicious, it will definitely grow. ”

Uncle was stunned: This little nephew has very mysterious ideas in his head. He watched Huineng bury the lychee in the soil and said, "Huineng, even if this lychee can sprout, grow into a big tree, and bear fruit, you will have to leave, and you won't be able to eat it." ”

Huineng smiled and said, "I can't eat it, but you all can taste it." ”

A year later, the lychees that Xiaohui could sow really broke through the soil. Since then, Lingnan people know that lychee reproduction, in addition to pressing strips and cuttings, can also be born. Sixty years later, Wu Zetian, the only empress in Chinese history, issued an edict to give Huineng's former residence as "Guoen Temple", a lychee tree with deep roots and lush leaves, supporting a green shade for the villagers who built the temple. Today, more than 1,300 years later, the lychee tree planted by the Sixth Ancestor Huineng is 18 meters high, and it takes three adults to hug it. It is still fruitful year after year, and it will run for future generations...... That's all for later.

Huineng's mother and son traveled day and night, sleeping in the open air, hardships and ups and downs, and finally arrived at the holy place in their hearts - Guangzhou.

Nanhai County governs Guangzhou, which is the most prosperous metropolis in Lingnan, with business and travel exchanges and celebrities. Chinese silk and porcelain were scattered across the ocean from here to all parts of South Asia; Overseas spices and treasures are also imported into the mainland from here. Not only that, back then, Master Bodhidharma came to China from the distant Indian Ocean, and it was from here that he set foot on the land of the eastern land of the Tang Dynasty and sowed the seeds of Zen.

Five sheep open Tai, Baiyun Mountain is unparalleled; Humanities, the first city on the bank of the Pearl River.

When Huineng's mother and son entered the city, it was already sunset. Guangzhou, the city that never sleeps, has entered another kind of prosperity. Above the Pearl River, the twilight smoke is shrouded, the sunset is blurred, the fine lines are like scales, and the microwave is golden. On the river, there are building boats, painting boats, flower boats, small boats, and fish, carrying amorous sons; Gui Yi shook lightly and sent the enchanting lady. The river breeze is slightly smoky, sending the sheng flute silk and bamboo symphony, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, if there is nothing, the silk wisps, ethereal, like fairy music falling into the mortal world; At the beginning of the moonlight, the boats and boats are brightly lit, and the beauty is graceful, hazy, and trance-like, as if you are in the heavenly palace...... The buildings on both sides of the strait are scattered, thousands of willow threads are covered, every house is lit up with lights, and every household is laughing and laughing. Guess the boxing order, arrogant, drunk man - everyone is the best man in the world; Yingge Yan language, whispering, women's love words - the most beautiful lie in the world......

The golden palace, the wind and the laurel palace, is so gorgeous; A high-ranking official in Chang'an, a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou, is inferior to his spaciousness.

Xiao Hui can look around, her eyes are misty, stunned, and it seems that a pair of eyes are not enough. A carriage galloped swiftly towards Huineng......

Li hurriedly pulled Huineng to the side of the road, and the wind brought by the carriage lifted his clothes. Li's soul flew cold, trembling all over, angry and angry, and couldn't help but slap Hui Neng and teach him: "What to see, what to see!" What about your soul? Got snatched by the goblins? ”

Xiao Huineng looked aggrieved, pouted and said, "Mother, I'm looking for broken temples on both sides of the street." Otherwise, we'll be sleeping on the streets again tonight. Lee's eyes were hot, his heart was sour, and he almost burst into tears.

Huineng didn't notice the change in her mother's mood, and continued: "What's so good about this place? In addition to the compound, shops, and buildings, there is not even a broken temple! ”

Li said: "If you can't find it, forget it, tonight, we will stay in the hotel." ”

Huineng said: "No, mother, it's too expensive to live in a hotel." It's good to sleep on the side of the street, and you can watch shooting stars. Really, I'm not scared at all. ”

Li said: "Tonight's store money, but no matter what, I can't save any more. These days, our mother and wife live in a cave, stay in a broken temple, wind and rain, sweat and dust, never seriously wash their faces, let alone take a bath, their bodies are sour and smelly, similar to calling flowers. With this appearance, how can I go to the yamen tomorrow to meet Lord Wenlong! We'll have to go to the inn tonight and wash up. ”

"Mother," Huineng called, but suddenly there was no follow-up.

Li asked, "Neng'er, what's the matter?" ”

Huineng opened his mouth, but stopped talking. Li said: "You kid, you have been worried about it since you were a child! What exactly are you trying to say? ”

Huineng thought about it, and said worriedly: "Uncle Wenlong, he is an official who is bigger than the county official, he, he really doesn't dislike us countrymen?" Will he really be nice to us both? In case ......"

Li Shi looked up at the sky and said slowly: "Master Wenlong, like your father, is a knowledgeable person, he and your father are close friends, and he will definitely treat you like a biological son and cultivate you." Son, you have to study hard, one, don't live up to the kindness of Master Wenlong; Second, your Lu family has been a scholarly family for generations, and you can't embarrass your ancestors. ”

Xiao Huineng nodded solemnly, with a very resolute look on her face: "Mother, don't worry." ”

Li smiled with relief and said, "Of course my mother is relieved." You are a child sent by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Guanyin Bodhisattva also said that you will be admired for thousands of years and generations. ”

Xiaohui can ask: "Mother, how can I be admired for generations?" ”

Li said: "I am a country woman, how do I know? When you read the book in the future and understand the reason, you will probably understand. Like the sage Confucius, he knows astronomy and geography, the first five hundred years, the last five hundred years, and knows everything. ”

Huineng said: "Like Zhuge Liang and Guan Gong, is it considered to be famous through the ages? ”

"Yes, of course! Neng'er, if you can be a prime minister like Zhuge Liang and a loyal minister like Guan Gong, my mother will burn high incense......"

Lee's infinite yearning, his face was filled with a holy look.

Huineng's mother and son stayed in a humble inn. The next morning, they temporarily deposited their luggage at the small inn and came to the state office early. The state government seems to be holding some major event, the majestic gate is freshly painted, the flags fluttering on the high flagpole in front of the gate, the clear water is sprinkled on the street, the loess cushion road, and the soldiers with knives are lined up along the street, as if waiting to welcome the arrival of some distinguished person.

Li Shi pulled Huineng, leaned against the wall, and cautiously walked to the yamen.

"What are you doing, you guys?"

A servant stood in front of them.

Li Shi trembled, snorted, and just wanted to explain something, on the high steps at the entrance of the state yamen, a person who looked like a master who was watching turned his head when he heard the sound and scolded: "Go and go, no wonder you were born to call Huazi life, and you don't even look at the time and place of begging, this yamen, is it a place for you to beg!" ”

Huineng straightened his small chest: "We don't want food!" ”

The master waved his hand impatiently: "It's either called Hanako, or I'm here to fight a lawsuit." Let's go, let's go, there is a major matter in the yamen today, and the case will not be accepted. ”

Li Shi clasped his hands together again and again, and said with a smiling face: "This master, please inform us, just say that Lu Xingyao's family has arrived." ”

"Lu Xingyao? What Lu Xingyi? What is Lu Xingyi? ”

Huineng took a step forward and said, "What are you?" You are not allowed to scold my father. The master squinted his little eyes and said, "Okay, okay, your father is not a thing, okay?" Now, you turn into a ball with your head in your hands - get the fuck off at once! ”

The master gave an order to the officials: "Drive them away immediately!" ”

Huineng pushed away the hand of the official and shouted, "We are guests invited by your Lord Assassin, why don't you let us in?" ”

When the master heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "In these years, there are all kinds of rare things. Before Lord Assassin Shi arrived, scammers pretending to be relatives and friends came to the door! ”

Li Shi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did you say?" Lord Assassin has not yet taken office? ”

"Today's big pomp is to welcome Gu Zhijun to take office."

"Gu Yuanjun?" Li's face was dazed.

"Gu Envoy Jun is Gu Thorn History. Educated people call the assassin 'envoy'. ”

Li Shi was very anxious: "Since Gu Tingshi has come to take office, what about Wen Tingshi?" Has he been dismissed from office? ”

The corners of the master's mouth twitched a few times, and he said coldly: "If you can be dismissed, it will still be a good end!" ”

"Could it be that Master Wen was also exiled?"

"This is already Lingnan, where will I go to exile? He was exiled by Lord Yama - exiled to the Ghost Gate - and died. ”

"What, Lord Wenlong is dead?" Lee hoped he had misheard.
