Chapter 67 The old monk in the Huangjia Temple
Ming Dynasty, the early years of Yongle.
Nanjing is a good place, there is the Qinhuai River wrapped in the wind in the intoxicating aroma of rouge, there is also the rain flower platform, the quiet bamboo forest deep camellia elegant people linger, the crooked river narrow bridge, the girl of the boat family speaks Wu Nong's soft language, everything sounds like flirting.
If you are a tourist from other places, you can't see it, just half a year ago, there were people killed here and blood flowed like a river.
Of course, after all, it has only been half a year since the tragic scene of rolling heads, although it seems that the wounds in Nanjing City have largely healed, but the so-called wounds are still there, and there are always some places that may take ten years, twenty years, or even longer to lick the wounds.
For example, Huangjia Temple.
Huangjia Temple was originally very good incense, because the geographical location is relatively close to the city, the people in the city always have to come from time to time to ask for a blessing, incense or something.
It's just that in the past six months, few people have come here to offer incense, and the monks in the temple have exhausted their eighteen martial arts, and one by one they seem to be monks who have attained the Tao, just like the turtle who pulls guests on the Qinhuai River.
Other temples pull guests in order to make incense money, this Huangjia Temple is different, they can't wait to give you money, not to mention the disaster relief porridge on weekdays, not only do you not need money for sesame oil, and even treat you with a vegetarian meal, the taste and pattern can almost be comparable to the largest restaurant in Jinling, but even so, there are still very few pilgrims.
The reason why this is so is only because there is an old monk living here, Dao Yan, and the common name is Yao Guangxiao!
Jinling City is the capital, the people at the feet of our Son of Heaven are very backbone, very polite, you Yao Guangxiao is a murderer and a heinous bastard, why do we want to incense in the temple where you are?
Besides, half a year ago, Nanjing's head was rolling, and he Yao Guangxiao made great contributions, not to mention coming here to incense, that is, ordinary people who passed by nearby felt that the wind was gusting, and they were afraid of the hairy hair, who would dare to come to the incense?
On this day, the two monks are chatting at the entrance of the temple, it is the height of summer, the willow tree is wilting and hanging its head, the summer cicada is very happy to attract the spouse, the two monks do not care about the image, leaning on the door frame with open chest and back obliquely and do not want to move at all, for fear that the clothes will be soaked and washed again if they move.
At this moment, a young man with a strange appearance, with short hair who looked like a monk and a monk and a layman, walked over slowly, and only saw the two monks when he got closer.
The two monks hurriedly stood up and hurriedly put on the monk's robes, and the appearance of Hang'er Lang just now was completely gone, and he immediately changed to a flattering but solemn face of Buddha nature, and said with a smile: "The layman comes to offer incense?" Please ask inside, tell you that the incense of my Huangjia Temple has been tried and tested, whether it is for marriage or career keeping, your wishes come true. ”
The person who came was Qin Hao, who seemed to practice Buddhism, and said, "Is Master Daoyan here?" ”
As soon as they heard that they were looking for Dao Yan, the enthusiastic faces of the two acquaintance monks just now collapsed in an instant, and they regained their appearance as if they were just hanging their children, and they didn't hesitate to say unreasonablely: "Are you looking for Master Daoyan?" Master doesn't see any outsiders, please go back. ”
Yao Guangxiao is known as the black-clothed prime minister, and there is naturally an endless stream of people who come to pat the horse's ass, but this Huangjia Temple is also interesting, and all those who come to sincerely incense are treated as distinguished guests, but if they come to Yao Guangxiao to pat their ass. Stick out!
Qin Hao smiled slightly, and very casually took out a modern artwork that had been prepared a long time ago: the glass Thousand-Armed Guanyin, and said, "Can this thing be seen on the side of Master Daoyan?" ”
The two monks were shocked, seeing that this Guanyin statue was lifelike, and it was crystal clear, and it was the treasure of Buddhism at a glance, and they immediately solemnized.
"Later, the little monk will go to report to the master."
"I'm tired."
If you want to say that Qin Hao downloads his resume, he can naturally appear directly by Yao Guangxiao's side, but this Yao Guangxiao is very different from Xun Yu and Gongsun Zhan, both of them are people who are about to die, but this is just when he is freshly dressed and angry, although he is only a small official like a monk and a monk, but who doesn't know his status in Zhu Di's heart, and who doesn't know his ability to have a belly?
The reason why we take the road of seeking to see each other, this means that we treat each other politely, just like when digging people in modern times, if it is a resigned employee or the kind of person who is not too good, it is natural to call over, but if you want to dig into the limelight, you have to make an appointment with someone first.
"This layman, Master is invited, please come with me."
"Thank you, little master".
Follow the little monk to turn left and right, along the way to see this Huangjia Temple in the strange flowers and plants, towering ancient trees in a row, there is indeed a bit of treasure temple meaning.
Walking to Yao Guangxiao's meditation room, the little monk knocked on the door respectfully, and then stood sideways at the door respectfully, made a gesture of invitation to Qin Hao, and motioned for Qin Hao to enter.
Qin Hao folded his hands and made a Buddhist salute, then pushed open the door and walked in, he was still a little nervous in his heart, you must know that this is the first time he has poached someone from his incumbent position, and he is still very nervous in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that his gold coins are barely abundant now, he wouldn't dare to try.
I saw that this is a very ordinary Zen room, in addition to some Buddhist utensils similar to wooden fish, Buddhism, etc., there are only two futons, there is no wealth and pleasure, there is a thin old monk wearing a monk's robe sitting on the futon, long eyebrows are beardless, there is nothing special at all, if you don't know that this is Yao Guangxiao, I'm afraid that such a person walking on the street will not provoke people to take a look.
"Presumably you are Master Daoyan."
Yao Guangxiao slowly opened his eyes, looked Qin Hao up and down for a while, and then spoke: "Laymen are not mortals. ”
Qin Hao smiled and asked, "How can the master see it?" ”
Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: "Because you are not afraid of me, I see that although you have a little desire in your eyes, you do not have the slightest sense of fear, to say something immodest, I am afraid that there are not many people in the world who are not afraid of me." ”
Qin Hao smiled even more happily, and sat cross-legged on the futon following Yao Guangxiao's appearance, and after sitting face to face with Yao Guangxiao, he said very casually: "Master, don't you even have tea here?" That's not hospitality. ”
Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: "Whether there is tea or not depends on why the layman comes." ”
Qin Hao pursed his lips, knowing that this Yao Guangxiao had a big shelf, but he didn't expect it to be so big, a thousand-armed Guanyin was not even a guest, depending on his meaning, at most, it was to see you, whether it was a guest or not seemed to depend on what you were asking for.
But fortunately, Qin Hao was prepared, Yao Guangxiao was a celebrity around Zhu Di, coupled with his wisdom as deep as the abyssal sea, if you want to poach him, you always have to pay some patience.
"Master Daoyan is invited, I heard that the master is superb in chess, I don't know if I am interested in talking with me about a game"
As he spoke, Qin Hao only waved his hand, but saw that there was a magical chessboard between him and Yao Guangxiao, and the two boxes of chess pieces were black and white.
But it was Qin Hao's lottery result before he came and spent fifty gold coins: Qiankun bag.
