-At dinner in the evening, Chen Ke told the news he heard to Wulang and Song Duanping...... As for the little monk Xuanyu, he strictly abides by not eating at noon, and he can't see them eating big fish and meat, so he has been meditating under the tree in the courtyard. The tenth of the twelve heads of the Buddha line, said 'stop under the tree', that is, if there is no way in the tomb, then as the Buddha walked to the tree to think and seek the way. Listening to Chen Ke's words, Song Duanping was also surprised: "Oh, Uncle Chen is not an official in Hengzhou, not far from Guangnan West Road." ”

However, it is said that Chen Xiliang and the top three in the first year of Huangyou were the same jinshi, and according to the convention, they were awarded the Zhengjiupin Dali Appraisal and the right to know the political affairs of Changsha County. Last year, because of the merit, he was polished two years in advance, and he was promoted to the middle of the Eight Rank Palace, and moved to Hengyang Zhi County. Although he is still a magistrate, he really has power by removing the word 'right'.

'Quan' means 'temporary', and those who are awarded official positions for the first time, except for the top five in the imperial examination, must first go through such a period of practice, without holding the official seal in their hands, and without the right to sign and pledge. Only by removing the word 'right' does it mean that he has become a formal official and really has the corresponding right to sign and pledge.

Who knew that he hadn't been happy for long, and when such a rebellion came, Chen Ke suddenly became worried. "Hmm." Chen Ke nodded and said, "I heard that Hengzhou is the key point of the south to Guangzhou, and my father must be very busy there...... Hengzhu has now arrived at Jinghu South Road, so I want to go over and see if I can help. Saying Zhengse, he said: "But since there is a war, I am afraid that this road will not be peaceful, so I hope that you can take the two of them and go to Yingzhou to find Sima Gong first." "Hey......" Song Duanping was tall and thin, with a smiling face, and scolded with a smile: "What I said, without our three bodyguards, I'm afraid that if you don't reach Hengyang, you will be killed by bandits and water bandits." Gorou also said categorically: "You have to go together, or don't go!" "Yes, who can you beat in the four of us?" Song Duanping said mercilessly and sarcastically: "It's not your turn to be a hero!" "Rely on ......" Chen Ke is completely undignified. Helplessly: "You can go." But you have to ask the little monk Xuanyu, the monks may not want to hear about the soldiers. ”

Song Duanping jumped up and said, "I'll ask." ”

After a while, he returned with an incredible face: "Hey, this little monk is really the best." Guess what he said? ”

"How?"

"He said that the ninth of the twelve heads of the Buddha is called 'living in the grave', also known as dwelling in the corpse forest or dwelling among the dead. It is said to live in the mound and see the dead corpses stinking and rotten, or the burning birds peck at the impermanence of suffering and emptiness, so as to be disgusted with the Three Realms. Song Duanping said incredulously: "Look at that posture, even if we don't go, he will go." ”

"Hey, that's called piety." Chen Ke laughed and said, "Let's be careful on the road, it'll be fine." ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, when Chen Ke asked the store about the path, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed...... Because by boat from Yuezhou, you can enter the Xiangjiang River from Dongting and go directly to Hengzhou. And as long as you are willing to spend money, you can also take the official ship, which is safe, fast, and worry-free, what danger is there......

Although there is an oolong, it is better to arrive safely than anything else. The group left the room and rushed to the dock to catch a boat.

But when I went to the dock to ask, I found out that the store was talking about the old emperor's calendar, and the original situation was peaceful, and the officials had to make some extra money, so as long as they had money, they could take the official boat to and from the river. If you happen to have an empty cabin, you can even stay in a private room.

However, now that the war is tight, there is a large amount of grain and ordnance to be transported to Lingnan, and many official ships have to undertake heavy transportation tasks and prevent spies from causing chaos, so they dare not take on any more personal work.

"There's no way, we can only take a civilian boat." Song Duanping said a little depressed.

"Well," Chen Ke suddenly remembered something, took out a string of money from his arms, took one and said: "Try this, if it doesn't work, we can only take a civilian boat." ”

"What is this?" Song Duanping said curiously.

"A fortune teller gave it to me, saying it was very face-saving." Chen Ke touched the money and said, "I just don't know if it's true or not." ”

"Try it."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a stick of incense, the four of them not only boarded the official ship, but also got a cabin.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Song Duanping said in amazement: "It's really amazing......

Chen Ke was also surprised, touched the six coins left in his arms and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that the official really recognized this thing." At this time, he was sure that the person who drank with him yesterday should be Shao Yong.

It seems that people of any age have to give face to the fortune teller.

It's just that although they were allowed to get on the boat, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chen Ke and the four of them couldn't move around at will, so they held it until dark, and Chen Ke finally couldn't help it: "I want to go out to breathe." "They lived in the sailor's cabin on the lower level, and the air was muddy

"Hurry up, I'll go when you come back." Song Duanping said.

"Hmm." Chen Ke responded, pushed the door out, walked onto the deck, and inhaled the fresh air.

While moving his muscles and bones, he looked around and saw a white figure, also doing the same thing.

The man seemed to be aware of it, looked back at Chen Ke, smiled at him, and couldn't see his face clearly in the dark, only his white teeth.

"You can come out and breathe, too." Worried that it would be exposed, Chen Ke shouted: "The moon is really round tonight." ”

The man was obviously stunned, and looked up at the sky, tonight is the thirtieth day, how can there be any moon.

"My name is Chen Ke, a native of Sichuan, your surname, where are you from?" Chen Ke took the opportunity to set up almost, and said in his heart, we are familiar with each other, you are embarrassed to make a small report, right?

"What are we ......" Listening to the man's voice, it seemed to be a young man of the same age.

"Just the two of us, who else is not you?"

"My surname is Zhao, and I am from Bianliang, Tokyo." The man thought for a moment and replied truthfully.

"Oh, the surname of the country," there are too many people with the surname Zhao in the world, and the court will not reward you with a penny because you have the same surname as the official. But Chen Ke still praised fakely: "It's so good! ”

"What's so good ......about the surname Zhao," the man sighed, and seemed to be quite touched.

"What's not good, the first in the hundred family names, and you can still pretend to be a relative of the emperor."

"I don't need to impersonate." The man smiled bitterly and said no more.

I really can't stand it, I don't know how many times I've squinted in the past, two thousand first, and four thousand at noon tomorrow.
