Chapter 2 Lao Tzu believed in the evil of the quack

Lanzi, located in the west of the Central Plains with a sparse population, is the Central Plains co-lord of the Jin Yue Dynasty, and the tribute over the years is to reconcile with the Jin Yue. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info hundreds of years, has been married to Jin Yue twice, and the two countries have a deep affection. Lanzi's culture of cultivation and architecture was also influenced by the Central Plains.

Yunbian City is the capital of Lanzi Kingdom. The total population of the city is more than 140,000, there are 44,000 Buddhas, and there are more than 100 large and small Buddhist temples, which can be seen in the heart of worshiping Buddha.

The entrance of the city gate of Yunbian City is connected to the main road in the city, and the end of the long street is the imperial palace. There are many shops and restaurants on both sides of the long street, which is the most prosperous area in the city. Adjacent to the desert, the people of Yunbian City are rough, which is the word Yunbian at the head of the city, as if you see the weak scholars in the Central Plains, you can spit out two mouthfuls of sand. It's just that the door is old, and the handwriting has faded, just like Lanzi's current emphasis on writing and suppressing martial arts.

Most of the people who come and go to Yunbian are business trips that run through the Central Plains and Mobei, and in addition to inspecting customs clearance documents, there are very few things to guard the city by Yunbian. That's why I was able to take the time to go to the academy a few steps away and listen to some strange stories.

New Oriental College.

No one can remember when the college opened, and no one cares if the formalities are complete. Most people know that there is such a academy in the city, it is the master of Lingshan Temple who is occasionally admired, the five characters at the door are like a knife into the bone, mellow at the turn, clumsy and indulgent, a few words, but there is endless meaning. A small number of people already knew about the academy here, and knew that the academy did not teach knowledge, so they were interested in it, so they told some stories.

"What is magic, sir?" The questioning child said anxiously.

"Well, in the blink of an eye, you can turn white noodles into steamed buns." Hu Zhou wiped the crumbs from the child's mouth and explained with a smile.

"Sir, do you know magic?"

"Sir, which is more powerful, magic or excavators?"

Hu Zhou shook his hand and interrupted: "Don't worry, don't worry, ask me one by one and answer them one by one." Magic, huh? I won't either, saying that it is passed on to women but not to men, what kind of palace fried chicken, the spell of sour and hot potato shreds, and the inheritance will be broken when it comes to Mr. ”

Hearing that Mr. said no, the little chubby dun who was originally shining in his eyes was a little disappointed, and couldn't help asking: "Sir, which one is more powerful in a fight, the one who learns magic or the one who learns excavators?" ”

"If it's just a fight, it's better to have an excavator."

Looking at the children around him who were shouting to learn excavators, Hu Zhou's little bad taste was satisfied, and it was time for Lao Li to come back.

Tong North Building.

Out of the academy, Hu Zhou drank here every time he said that he couldn't move the thunder. Li Laohan didn't drink a drop of wine, so he sat opposite him and accompanied him. I used to stand without wanting to sit, saying that there was a difference between master and servant. Later, Hu Zhou sold the old mansion and said that you Li Zhi will have no master in the future. That night, Hu Zhou invited him to drink with the silver taels that sold the house, and the two of them were drunk.

The water by the clouds is still expensive, not to mention the wine. Tongbeilou only sells two kinds of wine, one is the good daughter red in the Central Plains. One is the Qingcang wine of Beihu. The prices are ridiculously high. Compared with the mellow red of her daughter, Qingcang wine is spicy and hot throat, and it is known that three bowls cannot be made.

A stove of mutton, half a pot of mutton soup, a plate of bitter vegetables, and half a jar of Qingcang, this is the half-hanging miracle doctor of Yunbian, and the dietary therapy prescription prescribed by the dead horse to be a live horse doctor. Hu Zhou persisted for two months, and was tortured by the smell of sheep's flesh, but of course it did not get better. When Hu Zhou shouted when he was angry and wanted to tear down the signboard, Lao Tzu believed in the evil of the quack. Now only when Li Laohan came back from going out and insisted on calling such a table according to the prescription, Hu Zhou did not refuse, and it was only this once. Only by drinking alcohol can the habit be formed.

"Young master, there are seventeen in total." Li Laohan wanted to speak and stopped.

Hu Qiu was only drunk at this moment, and before he could get up, he said, "Don't call you young master, can't you listen to it?" The folds of your face blown out by the wind and sand are also used to rely on the old and sell the old? It's not that I'm reluctant to give it to you, that thing is really poisonous, and I can't tell you about tar and nicotine. ”

Li Laohan smirked and didn't speak.

"I sent so much harmony, when did you see him smoke?" Seeing that he was stubborn, Hu Zhou had to follow the good path.

"Master Harmony is a monk." Li Laohan replied concisely and forcefully.

"As soon as he eats wine and drinks meat, a monk can also be called a master?"

"Young master, it's drinking wine and eating meat."

"I can't tell the difference, isn't it just that the Buddha of him can tell the difference?"

Li Laohan thought about it, as if he had made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Young master, there is a big fish in it this time, and the price is fifteen, so it can't be less." ”

"Half a pack."

"Hongta Mountain?"

"Zhongnanhai."

Li Laohan's face suddenly deepened a lot, how can Zhongnanhai taste enough?

"This time, if he can't think of a cure, we won't do this deal, and we will probably have nothing to do with the Buddha. Do I still care about the flood around his clouds? ”

Li Laohan shook his head, knowing that Hu Zhou had drunk too much. He understood that even if Yuanrong said that there was no way to heal, the matter was really in front of him, and Hu Zhou would not let it go. At the age of three, he looks old, and his young master is the character of a knife mouth and a tofu heart.

Picked up Hu Zhou, who was drunk on the table, and carefully carried him on his back, but heard him muttering in a vague dream: "Uncle Li, smoke less." Desperately trying to live a few more years. ”

Li Zhi has a disease and his life is short.

The long street was silent, and Li Laohan, who was already walking unfast, slowed his steps even more slowly.

April 18, the beginning of summer.

Eat eggs and legs, eat bamboo shoots and legs, eat beans and eyes, and weigh people's hearts to pray for the body, heart, eyes and other parts to be healthy and healthy, and to survive the hot summer.

Hu Zhou said that the traditional festivals are all children's festivals. Woken up early in the morning by the frolicking of the children who met to fight eggs, Hu Zhou did not have the slightest hangover unhappiness, and Qingcang's drunkenness always came and went quickly.

After washing up, changing into clean clothes, Hu Zhou walked to the front hall. The front hall is the academy, and the open space in front of it originally had a flower pond, which was filled in by Hu Zhou. After selling the old house, Hu Zhou and Li Zhi lived here.

Li Zhi, that is, Li Laohan, the 17 people who were kidnapped from the desert, were thrown in the open space in the courtyard at this moment.

On the third pole, the academy has not yet opened, and today is probably resting, and the people in Yunbian already understand this law. You don't need to spend money, you don't have to spend energy looking at the children, on the contrary, you can hear some new and interesting things from the children's words, and no one is demanding that Hu Zhou be conscientious.

"Li Zhi said that there are big fish among you, I don't care, he didn't ask for a price, the price is right. I don't care because I'm not interested in you, that's the truth, like I don't want to know anything from your mouths, even a little bit. Send you to the Little Spirit Buddha Temple, and the matter will be over. Hu Zhou drank porridge ******** and said vaguely. I don't look at the number of people who are tied up, and their words and deeds are the same.

"Phew! Don't pretend to be a ghost, if you want to kill or hurry, Lao Tzu wants to frown and be a turtle grandson, and Lao Tzu is a fucking good man after eighteen years! Wang Peng didn't have the slightest sense of eating a slap and growing wise, and spat disdainfully.

stopped Li Zhi, who was about to do it, Hu Zhou didn't care and said: "After listening to what you said, I began to feel that yesterday's price was eighty percent too high." I don't care if you're a good man now, I'll take care of you until eighteen years later? ”

Li Laohan looked melancholy, and he was a little embarrassed, but he didn't blush.

Putting down the bowl, Hu Zhou looked at them around, looked at Mu Qiandao: "You should be the big fish in Li Zhi's mouth, at least in the past." Xiaoling Buddha Temple is a serious Buddhist temple of eight hundred, and the abbot Yuanrong is a disciple of the Yuanzi generation of Lingshan Temple, which is nothing more than to persuade you to put down the butcher's knife and quit the brainwashing of greed and hatred, but you don't have to worry about being killed and chopped. ”

Mu Qian held back his anger and asked: "Gongzi is an executioner for others, but he persuades others to put down the butcher's knife, what a bodhisattva's heart. I don't know how much benefit the master of harmony will give to the son if he swallows the treasure alone? ”

Hu Zhou laughed, compared two circles of similar size, pinched a few times, and then got up and went out.

After he left, Li Laohan took a cigarette in his mouth, rolled up his sleeves to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, looked at the people with an angry and confused face, and said something hazy than smoke: "Treasure? The young master said that that thing was very. By the way, it's still the eggs in the crotch of our guys' pants. ”

Mu Qian sneered, there is more than one treasure map of sheepskin texture in the entire Central Plains, maybe there is only one original, but the rubbing is estimated to be impossible to count on one hand. It is never a top secret to be a treasure. But by chance, he picked up the sheepskin sandwich, pulled out the silk of unknown material, and soaked it in wine, and the vague words that emerged were the secrets hidden in Mu Qian's heart.

Turn right out of the academy, go west, cross the main road of Yunbian, take a dirt path, and finally climb a short stone staircase, in front of you is the small Lingfo Temple.

When Hu Zhou was bent on making friends and currying favor, there was such a conversation in the temple.

"Lingshan Yuxiu Zhonglin, the Buddha Temple is located here to complement each other, there is a sense of Zen lofty, as soon as you step into the temple as if there is compassion on the face, three thousand troubles are gone, the heart is as light as water, and the mystery is extreme." Hu Zhou sighed.

Yuanrong put his hands together and said indifferently: "Donor, Niulanshan is just a dirt stump."

Hu Zhou returned the salute and insisted: "The mountain is not high, but the name of the immortal is famous."

That was the first time that Li Laohan blushed.

The hour has already passed the morning class, the temple gate does not see the little novice of Ping, Hu Zhou is a little strange, fortunately the temple door is open, Hu Zhou is familiar with the road inside.

When I walked all the way to the main hall, I met a flustered little monk, and before I could open my mouth to ask, I heard the little monk say in a trembling voice: "Master Hu, the abbot of Yuanrong has passed away."
