Chapter 173: Physiognomy
Li Chunfeng, Han Rui was surprised, gods, looked carefully, but didn't find anything special, that is, the eyes were a little bright, standing upright, with fluttering sleeves, coupled with a handsome and chic appearance, it was indeed somewhat in line with the temperament of the fairy wind bones.
Suddenly found that Li Chunfeng had a strange gaze, as if he was carefully observing himself, Han Rui felt a little hairy in his heart, could it be that he saw that he was a traverser, and prepared a palm thunderbolt to come over, secretly laughing at his cranky thoughts, Han Rui remained silent, but deliberately frowned, his expression was slightly dissatisfied.
Li Chunfeng's name, not only in later generations, but also now, is also a little louder, his father Li Bo, Sui Gao Tang Wei, abandoned the official for the Tao, quite a lot, self-named Huang Guanzi, under the influence of his father, Li Chunfeng can be said to be well-read, proficient in astronomy, calendrical, yin and yang, divination, since he was a child prodigy.
When he was a teenager, he joined the army under Li Shimin's account of the Qin Wangfu Record Office, and in the first year of Zhenguan, he proposed a revision of the current calendar, which was appreciated by Li Shimin, and he was awarded the general Shilang, the Zhitai History Bureau, and Zhenguan for seven years, designed and created a new type of armillary zodiac, which caused a sensation, and made the world praise it, and regarded it as the whole truth of the Tao and the flow of immortals.
Maybe it's a bit exaggerated, but it's also a fact, after all, in ancient times, there was not much understanding of the sky, and ordinary people were even more convinced of what astrology and prophecy, that is, high-ranking officials and magnates, and even emperors, although they would not believe it, but they would not question it openly, but Li Chunfeng was proficient in this way, which naturally made people extremely respectful.
However, you can't be so rude, Lu Cai was secretly suspicious, and gently pulled Li Chunfeng's sleeve, as if he had just woken up from a dream, Li Chunfeng retracted his gaze and hurriedly confessed.
Han Rui asked curiously, "Li Zhishi, is there anything wrong down there?" ”
"Nope." Li Chunfeng flatly denied it, and said with a smile: "I have heard the name of Han Gongzi for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be so young, a little unexpected, and I lost my temper. ”
"Ambition is not in old age, and Li Zhishi is also famous as a teenager, and now he has become famous, which is even more admirable." Han Rui said, half-believing in his heart, feeling that Li Chunfeng must have something to hide.
has been friends for many years, can be described as confidants, Lu Cai can naturally hear that Li Chunfeng's words are untrue, and in addition to being suspicious, he is also curious, and said with a smile: "Han Gongzi, it is better to meet by chance, it is better to come and talk about it." ”
"This ......" Han Rui hesitated, and said: "I still have some things, I'm afraid I can't accompany them, so it's better to get together again, and definitely come to visit to show my guilt." ”
"So, I'm waiting for you." Lu Cai bowed slightly, unwilling to be embarrassed, but he heard Li Chunfeng suddenly say: "Is Gongzi Han ready to go to the Laojun Palace to make incense?" ”
Han Rui was immediately startled, could he really see through people's hearts, thinking about it a little, Han Rui secretly laughed at himself for making a fuss, this road can only lead to the Laojun Palace, as long as the brain is not stupid, you can guess the purpose of your trip.
There was no other excuse, Han Rui could only nod and say: "Exactly, I have heard that Lao Jun's view of incense is prosperous, and it is extremely effective, I have admired it for a long time, and now it is rare to have time, so I came to admire." ”
Li Chunfeng said with a smile: "Coincidentally, Brother Lu and I spent the night in the view, and Chaochen was here to study the Elephant Sutra, and I occasionally gained something, and I was about to look back, so it was better to go back." ”
Refusing to be weak and unkind, Han Rui was helpless in his heart, nodded and said with a smile: "Did I pass by and disturb the interest of the two." ”
"How so?" Returning to the pavilion to pack up the chess pieces, Lu Cai said with a little joy: "Thanks to Brother Li's guidance, the Xiangjing chess game has been interpreted, and the game just now is just a casual pastime." ”
"Don't you dare." Li Chunfeng shook his head and said: "It's just that the bystanders have found some clues, and the rest is all based on Brother Lu's own hard work." ”
"Brother Li is humble." Lu Cai smiled, put the chess in place, lifted the box, and the three of them invited each other and walked away side by side.
Laojun Hall is located in the northernmost part of the third peak of Lishan Mountain, high on the edge of the cliff, because the Tang Dynasty believed in Lao Tzu as a distant ancestor, with the Tao as the state religion, the status of Laojun Hall is also rising, believers and pilgrims are endless, each has a gift, several years down, the scale of the construction of the Taoist temple is also more and more generous.
Soon, the three of them walked to the mountain gate of the Laojun Palace, only to see the eaves of the mountain gate upturned, resplendent and brilliant, the auspicious cloud pattern of the upper Liangfang sculpture soared and circled, on both sides was a pair of mighty and majestic beasts, the stone steps were left and right, the pines and cypresses were shady, although it was the late autumn season, it still presented a lush scene, the breeze was slow, looking at the simple and elegant buildings in the hall, there seemed to be an inexplicable solemn breath blowing in the face, the meaning of reverence, spontaneously.
At this moment is the time of the hour, the autumn night is long and the day is short, the sky is not yet white, before the mountain gate, it is deserted, occasionally see three or five children, holding a broom, carefully cleaning the residual leaves on the ground, climb the stairs and go, just before the main hall of the old monarch's palace, a Chengren half a height, can not surround the big Ding town in it, ignited the three pillars of giant incense, white smoke curling, take off and do not disperse, straight into the sky.
It is indeed a bit of a doorway, Han Rui looked up, and as far as his vision could see, the cigarettes were still condensed in a line, winding like a dragon, as if they were soaring in the air, which was amazing, but what satisfied Han Rui the most was that next to Dading, there were ready-made incense candles, and they were free, and they were taken by pilgrims, although the quality was slightly poor, but compared to later generations, it was also commendable.
Although he is not a devout believer, but Han Rui was not lazy to the point of disdain, he took a few incense sticks on the side, lit them three times, and inserted them into the ding, after the ceremony, he took out a few copper coins and put them in the incense oil tank at his feet, which is a proof that he is not greedy for cheapness.
Li Chunfeng and Lu Cai next to him also followed suit in turn, and then said with a smile: "Master Han, the main hall has not been opened, why don't you follow us for a while in the view."
is exactly what he wants, Han Rui naturally will not refuse, but there are also two points of strangeness, could it be that the main hall of the Laojun Palace is opened, and it is necessary to pay attention to the auspiciousness of the time.
Hearing Han Rui's question, Lu Cai explained: "That's not the case, the statue of the white jade old monarch is enshrined in the hall, which is priceless, so naturally you should be cautious." ”
Li Chunfeng shook his head and sighed lightly: "If you don't treat each other with sincerity, but question people's hearts first, this is not the right way." ”
This is clearly the paradox of the chicken and the egg, who is in charge, can't fight for a reason, Han Rui did not comment, followed the two of them to wander around, carefully pay attention to the direction of the road, in case of the meeting, after walking for a while, Han Rui found that the two seemed to be purposefully taking themselves to a certain place.
However, Han Rui was secretly strange, but he had no other ideas, because along the way, he met many Taoist priests, and then looked at the building next to it, it seemed that this was the inner hall of the Taoist temple, that is, where the Taoist priests stayed.
After walking for a while, he came to a quiet house, Li Chunfeng knocked on the door gently, saw that there was no response inside, and after looking at Lu Cai, he actually pushed the door directly, and the door creaked and opened.
"Who, don't you know I'm meditating?" The voice came out, and a middle-aged Taoist priest walked over, with a calm expression on his face, his demeanor was calm, and he held the dust in his hand, and put it in his arm, as if there was an elegant atmosphere out of the dust.
However, Han Rui didn't feel this way at all, and only felt dumbfounded.
"Li Chunfeng, Lu Cai, didn't you go back, why did you come back again." The Taoist priest seemed a little strange, and suddenly said vigilantly: "Why, I still want to continue to live, absolutely not, I have let you live here for two days for nothing, for the sake of many years of friendship, I don't care about you, do you still want to get an inch." ”
A little embarrassed, looking at Han Rui, Li Chunfeng stretched out his finger and said softly: "Senior brother, pay attention." ”
Pay attention to what, the Taoist priest bowed his head in confusion, but saw that he had hidden it in a hurry just now, and it was charred and attractive, like a baby's arm-thick leg of mutton meat showing half a horn from his arms, and on the bulging belly, coupled with the bulging leg of mutton, it looked so weird.
"It's all your fault, just knocking on the door without making a sound, and actually not inviting yourself in, so rude, it hurts ......me" The Taoist priest complained, trying hard to stuff the mutton into his arms, but he pushed out the protruding belly, so repeatedly, he simply pulled it out directly, took two bites, and said while chewing: "Tell you, it's okay to live again, but you have to pay." ”
"Senior brother, Lao Junguan is a place of pure heart and few desires, but you are like this...... Doesn't seem right. Li Chunfeng said, his expression helpless, how could he not ask for help, he didn't want to come over.
"What's wrong, there's no ...... anyway." With a light glance of his eyes, he found Han Rui's figure, the fat middle-aged Taoist priest was stunned, and subconsciously hid the leg of mutton behind him, and suddenly felt that this was wrong, so he hurriedly took it out and threw it away.
In the end, with the mood of breaking the jar, his eyes widened angrily, and he looked at Li Chunfeng and Lu Cai, and the Taoist priest was angry in his heart, these two people were really the disaster stars of his life.
Han Rui turned a blind eye, as if he didn't see the leg of mutton in the hand of the Taoist priest, and asked with a smile: "The Taoist looks strange and has an extraordinary bearing, and he knows that he is a Taoist at a glance, but he doesn't know what to call it." ”
It is indeed Qingqi, it is rare to see, the body shape is almost the same as that of the eldest grandson Wuji, and the Taoist priest who looks like a pig is round and meaty, in Han Rui's impression, he has always felt that only the monks in the temple can have this kind of fat head and big ears figure, but when he thought of the heroic performance of the Taoist priest eating meat, Han Rui was also relieved.
Very natural, handing the mutton to the window, the Taoist priest recovered his indifferent expression, with a dignified appearance, and said with a slight smile: "Xiaodao Qingyun, is the deacon of the inner temple, and it is a blessing to meet the son today, I look at the son's appearance, and his eyebrows are ...... Yes. ”
With an exclamation, as if he had found something surprising, Daoist Qingyun stopped speaking, opened his eyes, and looked at Han Rui carefully, looking inexplicable and incredulous.
"Senior brother, you also found out." Li Chunfeng said, Qingyun nodded again and again, his eyebrows furrowed, and he shook his head slightly, as if he was puzzled.
"Brother Li, Daoist Qingyun, what are you talking about?" Lu Cai was very curious.
After a deep groan, Li Chunfeng said softly: "I can't hide it, judging from Han Gongzi's face, he should be ......"
Sighing, Han Rui suddenly took out an object from his arms, lit it up in front of their eyes, and said with a smile: "This thing may be able to relieve the confusion in your hearts." ”
