The Dharma affairs of Chang'an, which are in full swing, have evolved from the original simple excesses to the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.

Whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, they are doing their best, and the Dharma is getting bigger and bigger, from the original Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, to the streets of Chang'an, and the wooden platform that has been temporarily erected, even if Zhao Chen is standing in his own yard, he can see it clearly.

The closest to Xinghuafang is Zhaohuafang, the high platform that Zhao Chen saw was built by the Buddhist temple of Zhaohuafang, and there was a monk sitting on the high platform, and the head of the light was on the high platform, which was particularly dazzling.

Zhao Chen stared at the bald head and was silent for a long time, then silently picked up the hoe and walked into the vegetable shed in the side courtyard, guarding the lush vegetables in the shed, and his mood seemed to be much better.

The first crop of vegetables in the vegetable shed was already ripe, and the Hou Mansion couldn't eat so much, so he asked Zhang Lu to pick them and send them to the old Qin family and Cheng Yanjin's family respectively.

Now, this shed is already the second crop, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and the like, the growth is very vigorous, Zhao Chen has not gone there for a few days, he stays in the greenhouse every day, teaching pollen, weeding, and fertilizing is all he alone.

Refused the help of the people in the house, and stopped all the work alone, Zhao Chen felt that he had to find something to do, so that his head would not be disturbed by the chaos outside.

The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has seriously affected the people, and yesterday the old Zhang Tou's house was noisy, and Zhao Chen, who had a loud voice, heard it clearly in the house.

The reason is that Lao Zhangtou clashed with the beliefs of his two sons. Lao Zhangtou and his wife believe in Buddhism, but their two sons and daughters-in-law believe in Taoism, so the conflict broke out.

Zhao Chen lay quietly on the recliner in the backyard, silently listening to the arguments of the old Zhang Tou's family.

The progress of the project on both sides has slowed down. The arrival of the drought has made the people listless, coupled with the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism during this time, there have been several accidents at the construction site, and they have to stop.

It doesn't matter what the school palace is over. Anyway, the early construction period has been rushed a lot, even if it is stopped for a while, it doesn't matter, but Li Chengqian's side, the original plan was to complete it after the autumn, but in this way, it came to naught.

This is a loss, Li Chengqian, who should have jumped to his feet and scolded, rarely remained silent. Like not caring about lost money in the slightest, the silence is intriguing.

Not only Li Chengqian, but even those ministers and Li Er in the court were all maintaining great silence, blindly allowing the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism to move the Dharma field to the street.

Yesterday, when listening to the quarrel of the old Zhang Tou's family, Zhao Chen asked Muqiu to set up the carriage. I was going to enter the palace to ask Li Er why he allowed this kind of thing to run rampant in Chang'an. Put something to the side?

It's just that the carriage was set up, but Zhao Chen waved his hand in disappointment and gave up entering the palace.

Nowadays, the world is full of rampant Buddhism, and the people are willing to eat it. Even Li Er couldn't stop it.

Forced intervention is bound to cause a greater backlash, and Zhao Chen always feels that Li Er's rare silence is in the midst of this. It seems that something is brewing.

The tomatoes were ripe, and hung red on the low branches, like pearl agate, huddled together in piles, some still green.

Zhao Chen took a pair of small scissors and cut off all the tomatoes that were still green, leaving only the big ones with good color!

Ji Ning'er looked at it on the side and said it was a pity, this thing tasted sweet and sour, especially listening to Zhao Chen say that people can also supplement vitamins after eating.

Ji Ning'er doesn't know what vitamins are, but she just likes this kind of red fruit, which can be eaten raw or made into various dishes.

Tiger Girl seems to be a foodie by nature, and she had a good impression of Zhao Chen for no reason because of an ice cream.

"These are useless!" Zhao Chen continued to prune with his hands, and explained to Ji Ning'er and Wheat without raising his head: "If you want to get bigger and better color tomatoes, you must cut off these guys who rob nutrients!" ”

When he was pruning and explaining, Zhang Lu hurriedly came to the greenhouse, looked at Zhao Chen with an embarrassed face, and said, "Master Hou, Daochang Sun is here, shall we open the door of the mansion?" ”

"Daochang Sun?" Zhao Chen, who was pruning with his head down, couldn't help but raise his head when he heard Zhang Lu's words, looked at Zhang Lu with a frown, and said, "Is it a person, or is it a companion?" ”

"Only Daochang Sun is here alone!" When Zhang Lu heard this, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, the weather was too hot, the Hou Ye shrank in the greenhouse to work, as the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, he naturally couldn't be idle, so he had nothing to look for, but he was also sweating all over his body.

"Since it's Sun Daochang who is here alone, then let's open the door of the mansion!" When Zhao Chen heard that Sun Laodao was coming alone, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, gave Zhang Lu an order, and then lowered his head and fiddled.

When Zhang Lu heard this, he hurriedly walked out of the greenhouse, and went to order someone to open the door for Sun Simiao. In the past few days, Hou Ye has refused visitors, and the door of the mansion has been closed, unless it is the Qin Cheng family who are familiar with each other, no one else is seen.

The side door of the Hou Mansion then opened, and Sun Laodao, who looked ugly, immediately entered the house from the side door, led by Zhang Lu, and came directly to the greenhouse where Zhao Chen was.

The greenhouse is green, and in the stuffy air, there is a sense of vitality, which is the opposite of the lifeless outside.

Seeing such a scene, Sun Simiao seemed to feel that the depressed mood when he first came seemed to be much better.

"Taste it, the cucumber that just grows, it's crispy!" Zhao Chen picked a slender cucumber from the cucumber shelf, washed it in the bucket next to him, and handed it to Sun Simiao with a smile.

Sun Simiao was also unceremoniously, took the cucumber handed by Zhao Chen, stuffed one end into his mouth, and 'clicked' to bite down, chewed his mouth full of fragrant, and nodded at Zhao Chen with satisfaction.

"The cucumber that has just grown is crisp and tender, if it is cut into pieces and sprinkled with sugar, then the taste is good!" Zhao Chen picked a few more cucumbers with his hands, and as he spoke, he hugged Sun Dao out of the greenhouse and went to the back house.

In the recliner of the back house, two ice buckets were placed, and inside were ice cubes that were steaming cold. The weather in May is almost burning everywhere, but Zhao Chen and Qin Cheng have a large amount of ice to relieve fever.

A bottle of wine had already been placed in the ice bucket, and Zhao Chen and Sun Simiao came to the back house and took out the wine inside. Then put all the cucumbers you have just picked in it.

Sun Simiao was wearing a new robe, with a messy hair over the years, which was also shiny at this time, with a bun erected on it, pinned with a hairpin.

From the day Zhao Chen met Sun Simiao. Sun Simiao always dressed as a down-and-out Taoist, even at that time in Gewuyuan, Sun Simiao always looked unkempt.

Ji Ning'er had already gone to the kitchen with wheat, chilled cucumbers and tomatoes, probably cold dressing.

Zhao Chen sat on the recliner and looked at Sun Simiao, who was only caring about eating cucumbers opposite, and suddenly smiled and said, "I'm curious, what do they say about moving you to be old?" ”

"The kid has already guessed the purpose of Lao Dao's trip?" Sun Simiao heard this. Stopping to chew, his eyes looked directly at Zhao Chen, and he couldn't help frowning and asked.

"Yesterday, the old Zhang Tou's house behind my house was making a lot of noise!" Zhao Chen lay on the reclining chair, poured the chilled wine into the cup in front of Lao Dao and him, looked at Sun Simiao and said, "I heard that it is the Fahua Temple." Suddenly an ebony Buddha statue was offered! ”

Ebony is a rare thing, when Zhao Chen was on Nanyang Island. Once from the bearded guest, he defrauded an ebony mine and obtained a whole ebony.

After returning to Chang'an, Zhao Chen carved a small Buddha statue with ebony, which was originally intended. pitted a handful of Japanese people, but as a result, it was later bought by a mysterious person.

Later, Zhao Chen let Hu Lu secretly investigate. After learning that it was bought by a Kang Guoren, he gave up, but what he didn't expect was that this Buddha statue finally appeared in Chang'an.

Moreover, it turned out to be in the Hokkeji Temple just a stone's throw away!

Originally, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, which were competing fairly, suddenly offered ebony Buddha statues because of Fahua Temple, so that the balance of victory began to tilt in favor of Buddhism.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Chen suddenly asked who Sun Daochang was coming with when he heard Zhang Lu say that Sun Simiao was coming.

It is impossible for the Taoist to give up, and since ebony can carve Buddha statues, it can also carve real people. Ebony is hard to find, and now in the whole Chang'an, only Zhao Chen has ready-made ebony in his hands.

Zhao Chen expected that the Daomen would come to him sooner or later, but he didn't expect that the person from the Daomen would be Sun Simiao.

Sun Simiao is from the Taoist Sect, and he is good at the Taoism of the Daomen, and his medical skills are only one of the things that Sun Simiao knows.

However, Sun Simiao has been focusing on medical skills all year round and rarely participates in the affairs of the Daomen, but this time, he is looking for him for the Daomen, Zhao Chen is very curious, how those people persuaded Sun Lao Dao.

"Lao Dao owes his master a favor!" Sun Simiao looked very ashamed, obviously, he was unwilling to participate in this matter, and now, for the sake of ebony, he made a special trip to find Zhao Chen, which made him feel completely embarrassed.

"Who?" When Zhao Chen heard this, he raised his cup in surprise, he didn't expect Sun Laodao to be forced to come for such a reason, and suddenly looked at Sun Simiao with some surprise, and asked, "Could it be Li Chunfeng?" ”

Zhao Chen came to Datang, a person in the Taoist sect, and he also knew Sun Simiao and Li Chunfeng, one was close to him, and the other made him want to stay away, so when he heard Sun Simiao talk about it, he almost blurted out subconsciously.

"Yuan Tiangang!" Sun Simiao's expression paused slightly, as if he was not far from mentioning the past, suddenly took a breath, and said very simply.

When Zhao Chen heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and Yuan Tiangang said that he was named after Li Chunfeng, and the same young man learned about it. Moreover, compared to Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang's physiognomy seems to be more miraculous.

"That's not right!" Zhao Chen recalled the information about Yuan Tiangang in his mind, and suddenly seemed to remember something, looked at Sun Simiao and frowned: "Hasn't Yuan Tiangang been sent to Shuzhong by His Majesty?" How could it appear in Chang'an? ”

"It's a letter left behind!" Sun Simiao looked very helpless, looked at Zhao Chen and said with a wry smile: "As early as a month ago, he wrote a letter from Shuzhong, and it was only at this time that Li Chunfeng was handed over to Lao Dao!" ”

Bastard!

When Zhao Chen heard this, he scolded angrily in his heart, a month ago, Chang'an was still stable and stable, without any warning, but they were already preparing in secret.

"Old Dao, you really don't want me to take out the ebony, do you?" Zhao Chen was a little angry in his heart, the darkness of these people Chen Cang, and his tone unconsciously became a little cold.

"Lao Dao only agreed, personally go to the Hou Mansion!" When Sun Laodao heard this, he didn't care about the indifference in Zhao Chen's words, and suddenly smiled at Zhao Chen, and said a little sloppily: "Lao Dao didn't promise, he must come to Ebony!" ”

When Zhao Chen heard Sun Simiao's words, which were similar to Lai Pi, his expression paused slightly, and he couldn't help it all of a sudden, looking at the serious Sun Simiao, he couldn't help laughing.

Li Chunfeng probably wouldn't have thought that Sun Simiao, who they were looking forward to, never thought that he would come to Ebony for them, and he came to Zhao Chen's mansion just to go through the motions! (To be continued......)
