After walking dozens of people south along the central road, I passed a cross street, and the street suddenly became deserted. Even if someone passes by, it is a breathless sound, not as lively as Cross Street North. As soon as Li Zaixing was about to ask, Lu Hu reminded: "Don't raise your voice, this is the mansion of Li Linfu, the Chinese scholar, and the comings and goings are either rich or expensive, but they can't be collided." ”

Li Linfu's family? Li Zaixing couldn't help but look at it twice, and couldn't help but be secretly speechless. This courtyard is really big enough, when he passed the cross street, he glanced at it, this thing must be 500 meters, and the north and south must be more than 100 meters, so it must be 50,000 square meters? This is not the south of the city, the northwest corner is facing the palace, and it is not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land is a prime location.

Along the way, Li Zaixing has heard Li Bi mention Li Linfu, of course, there is nothing good to say. Since the twenty-fourth year of Kaiyuan squeezed the famous minister Zhang Jiuling out of the phase, he has been in the phase for thirteen years, and the people who are with him are his puppets, and in fact, the power is in his hands. Li Linfu was born as a scholar and had little knowledge, so he was very worried that there would be erudite people who threatened his phase, so he blocked the way of speech, and anyone who might enter the phase would be framed by him. And the reason why An Lushan can rise rapidly and be favored is related to Li Linfu.

Li Zaixing himself doesn't have a good impression of Li Linfu, and what is associated with this traitor is an idiom: mouth honey belly sword. To put it bluntly, this gentleman has a very high level of people, and if he sells you, you may be happy to help him count the money.

He lives here. Li Zaixing's heart moved, if there is a chance, Lao Tzu sneaks in and kills him, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.

"This house used to be Li Weigong's house."

"How did Li Weigong's former residence become Li Linfu's residence, and his descendants?"

"The gentleman's Ze, the fifth generation and beheaded, where can the descendants of Duke Wei afford to live in such a house, I don't know where to move for a long time. Twenty years ago, his nephew Li Lingwen had a good relationship with His Majesty and lived here, but after he died of illness, his descendants moved away. Lu Hu explained: "My Datang has laws and regulations on the size of the house, and not everyone can live in a house of this size. ”

He raised his head, looked at the high courtyard wall, and chuckled: "Maybe it won't be a few years, and the owner here will have to change again." ”

Li Zaixing said puzzledly: "Why do you say that? ”

Lu Hu lowered his voice: "Your Majesty is nearly sixty years old, how many years can you live?" Li Linfu and the crown prince are not in harmony, once His Majesty dies and the crown prince ascends the throne, can he still live in phase for a long time? Without phase, where can he still live in such a house. ”

Li Zaixing suddenly realized. That's right, once the son of heaven and a courtier, Tang Xuanzong has not been in a few years, Li Linfu and the prince are at odds again, and when the prince ascends the throne, he will definitely not have a good life for him.

The two of them said and came to the gate of Bodhi Temple. Li Zaixing handed over the token prepared for him by the master, and soon a middle-aged monk wearing a tie robe ran out of it, holding the token brought by Li Zaixing in his hand, stood at the door and looked around, and immediately walked towards Li Zaixing.

"Senior brother?"

Li Zaixing was a little surprised. Although this monk did not wear a robe, the silk robe on his body was not an ordinary cloth robe, and when he walked out, the monks he met would be put aside, which showed that his status should not be low. As soon as he opened his mouth, he called his junior brother, could it be that he was also the disciple of the old cultivator?

"You are?"

"I am Juehui, the second disciple of the master, and I have studied Zen with the master for three years, but unfortunately my qualifications are dull and I have not succeeded. Now I am doing a Duvina in Bodhi Temple, I hope that the master will be the first to know when he returns. I didn't expect the master to come, but I waited for the younger brother to come. ”

Li Zaixing broke out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart that this was the second senior brother. Hearing this, that old cultivator has also accepted more than one disciple, and before this Juehui, there is at least one senior brother. Du Weina is one of the three outlines of the temple, in charge of various miscellaneous affairs in the temple, and is the real power faction of the Eight Classics.

Li Zaixing followed Juehui and walked inside, and Lu Hu led Teller Biu to follow. Juehui seemed a little excited, talking non-stop all the way, pointing out the names and uses of Li Zaixing's various buildings. The Buddhist temple of the Tang Dynasty is not the same as the Buddhist temple of later generations, this Bodhi Temple was built in the city, the scale can not be compared with the Panruo Temple built on the mountain, it inevitably seems a little cramped, and the layout is also very different, the most strange thing for Li Zaixing is that the bell tower that should have been built in the east was actually built in the west.

Juehui led Li Zaixing to the Buddha hall, pointed to a Buddha statue and said, "Senior brother, bow to the master." ”

Li Zaixing was stunned, that old Buxiu is still alive, how can he be like? He glanced at it, but he didn't doubt it much, this Buddhism was very realistic, and it was a monk in sloppy clothes, and he did have some resemblance to the old cultivator. The sculpture craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty is indeed not covered, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is equipped with all forms and gods. There is an inscription on the side of the statue, on which are written "Sokcho Dade" four regular scripts, the handwriting is dignified, and at a glance you can see that the writer was very respectful at that time.

"Sokcho?" Li Zaixing asked puzzledly: "Master's law name is Sokcho?" ”

Juehui laughed, with a little admiration and a little pride: "The master is a master outside the world, and he disdains to show people common sense." Sokcho is not his name, it's just that we call him. When he was in the temple, he refused to live in the house, only looking for a bunch of grass every day, and lived under the corridor of the west courtyard. The temple persuaded him to live in the house, but he scolded him, and that night, he burned the grass and cleansed himself, and ran away, never appearing in the temple. Over the years, we have been hoping to see his old man's dignity again, but unfortunately we have not been able to do so. It is also my good fortune to be able to see his old man's token today. ”

Li Zaixing smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that this old man is really good at pretending to be a ghost, and he can even play the trick of self-immolation. Juehui and the others thought that he had great powers, and he had escaped by casting spells, but who knew that he had changed his name and hid in the Panruo Temple.

He couldn't tell the truth, so he had to salute the statue seriously, and then came to the West Courtyard to see the corridor where the master had lived before, and then followed Juehui to the West Courtyard Guest House. Before that, Lu Hu had already been brought in, placed the Teller Biao, and cleaned up the room. Seeing Li Zaixing coming, he greeted him, frowned, and said in a low voice: "Lord, the environment here is not bad, but the neighbors are not very good." ”

"Neighbors?" Li Zaixing looked at a room on the north side with Lu Hu's eyes, and saw a thin-looking scholar standing timidly at the door, seeing Li Zaixing looking at him, he hurriedly squeezed out a smile: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, Xiao'er was hungry just now, and I cried twice, I have bought rice, and I will cook immediately, and I will cook immediately." ”

Juehui frowned and sighed: "Du Zimei, you have lived in the temple for more than two years, the west courtyard was empty before, and I didn't say anything to you, but now that my junior brother is here, he has to meditate every day, and it is really inconvenient for you to continue like this." I think you should choose another place, don't delay my junior brother's cultivation and Buddhahood. ”

"This ......" The scholar looked bitter, looked back at the room, and was speechless.

Juehui was about to say more, Li Zaixing pulled his sleeve, stepped forward, and looked at the scholar with a surprised expression: "Are you ...... Du fu? ”

The scholar was a little surprised: "It's Du Fu below, I don't know if the great virtue is ......"

Li Zaixing smiled: "I'm not a great virtue, I'm just like you, I'm also a worldly person." By the way, do you know the fairy Li Bai? ”

Du Fu's eyes immediately lit up, and he pointed in the direction of the stable: "That Telle Biao, could it be that Brother Taibai gave it?" ”

Li Zaixing laughed: "So, you are the Du Fu Du Zimei who wrote the sentence 'will be at the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains at a glance'?" “

"Exactly, exactly." Du Fu was overjoyed and grabbed Li Zaixing's sleeve: "I just saw that Taller Bisle and felt a little familiar, I don't want it to be Brother Taibai's mount." Hey, Brother Taibai sees this horse like an eyeball, how can he ...... it now?"

"He gave it to me." Li Zaixing interrupted Du Fu's words, turned to Juehui and said, "Senior brother, I am willing to live with this Du brother, anyway, I only have two people, so it's okay." ”

Juehui frowned and didn't say anything more. He took care of a few more words, leaving a little monk named Zhiyuan to listen to Li Zaixing's instructions and go to business first. He is the Du Wei of the temple, and his affairs are very complicated, so it is impossible to accompany Li Zaixing all the time.

Li Zaixing didn't care, and pulled Du Fu to chat. When I asked, I found out that Du Fu had been in Chang'an for several years and had been living in various Buddhist temples and Taoist temples. Generally speaking, temples are willing to provide guest houses for scholars to live, but also provide free food, first, they are not short of this money, secondly, they also hope to form some good fate with these scholars, who knows if there will be a jinshi or something, even if they can't get out of the jinshi, can't be an official, these scholars can also write poems and compositions, help them become famous, attract more pilgrims.

Buddhist temples and Taoist temples abound in Chang'an City, and if you want to do a good business, of course, you have to think of more ways.

However, Du Fu is not very popular now, for the simple reason that he has lived too long and dragged his family with him. Three years ago, he participated in the imperial examination, but he got nothing, and he ran around in a wealthy family all these years, and he did not get an official position. The temple couldn't see the possibility of him soaring, so they were reluctant to let him live anymore, and even the food that was originally provided for free was stopped, and he can only buy rice and cook by himself now. I was a little late when I came back from buying rice today, and my son was so hungry that he cried, and he happened to be heard by Lu Hu.

Li Zaixing looked at the simple decoration of Du Fu's house in disbelief. He knew that Du Fu was unhappy all his life, but he didn't expect Du Fu to be so poor. The furniture in the house should have been from the temple, but the clothes were their own, and they had been washed white. The child was skinny and skinny, pulling the tattered curtains, and looked at Li Zaixing timidly. There seems to be a figure behind the curtain, perhaps Du Fu's wife.

Li Zaixing thought about it and said with a smile: "It seems that my luck is really good, I originally wanted to settle down and go to you again, but now I have met it." He turned to Lu Hu and gave him a look: "Brother Taibai is worried that you will have difficulty making a living in Chang'an, so he specially asked me to bring you some money." Ah Hu, bring me the two collars of gold that the fairy entrusted me with. ”
