(It's even more shameful to break it, and I've thought about it in the face of the wall!) ）

"Brother Xu?"

Xu Chen followed the prestige, and saw the old man Wang greeting him at the door of the monk's house.

When Hu Shilang's family entered the temple, those family members began to disperse the crowd and make way for Lord Hu.

Xu Chen saw Old Man Wang beckoning him, but he was thinking about Hu Tong, and it was no accident that he met the female assassin just now, it was very likely that he came for Hu Shilang, Xu Chen didn't have the kind heart to remind Master Hu that his predecessor had broken his son's leg, and this guy was Yang Guozhong's number one minion, and he must be regarded as a hostile party.

The land of right and wrong should not be stayed for a long time.

Old man Wang Wei has been waiting for a long time, today there are thousands of people in the temple, and he can't go out to greet him, so he wrote an address to Xu Yuma, and can only sit in the house and wait.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and then entered the old man's special room, and when he entered the door, he saw that it was simple and tidy, with a row of bookshelves, a table, and a seat in front of the table, which was probably used by the old man to meditate.

When he was young, Wang Weichang was handsome and literary, and he was full of spirit, needless to say, a large number of famous poets appeared in Tang Xuanzong during this period, and there are indeed not many good ones who can really mix.

Pulling a little further, the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty is really better than that of today's civil servants, and the number of people who go to Liangjing to participate in the scientific examination is tens of thousands every year, and the total number of people admitted by the central government is only thirty or fifty, which is difficult to get into the sky. However, the scholars of the Tang Dynasty were really enthusiastic about scientific research and almost paranoid, which was also the only way for the poor people to get ahead. Although the Tang Dynasty was lax in business management and made a lot of money in business, the vast majority of people still broke their scalps and went to the road of no return to the imperial examination.

The imperial examination brought a different kind of prosperity to Chang'an, and at the same time there will be a strong contrast, which will be reflected in the later story, some people even stayed in the capital for ten years and did not go home, afraid that going home would affect the review, and found a fortune teller divination, maybe the gentleman also took pity on this person, so he told him that he could go home, this guy finally went home to see his wife and children, but the next day he left, so that the wife and children and brothers all shouted: "Its ghost also!" "Does that mean Nima, you're a ghost?

The road to the imperial examination was very tragic, and a character like Du Fu was so awesome that he couldn't do it, but he was overshadowed by Li Linfu, and finally gave the old emperor three major endowments, so he was on standby in Jixian Courtyard, and he was still on standby in the capital at this time. Li Bai simply did not participate in the scientific examination, as mentioned earlier, great poets can also become famous by virtue of their poetic talents, Wang Wei is a good mix among the famous poets of this generation, but now he chooses to retreat, study Buddhism, and enjoy purity.

Old man Wang invited Xu Chen to sit on the ground, and he praised how good Xu Chen's "Journey to the West" was, and how those poems were, the more talented the poet, the more he cherished his talents, this is a common surname, Wang Wei saw that although this horse had a good reputation, it was not a good stand, which made him like it, and he was kind.

This old man devoted himself to the study of Buddhism, Xu Chen said last time that Wang Yangming's mind was shocked, and he couldn't sleep well all night after coming back, and it was still difficult to let go after so many days, so he called Xu Chen over and continued to discuss.

The study of mind is indeed a great impact on Buddhism, and the most fundamental thing is that one changes, the other does not change. Although no one can do the four things that Buddhism says, the slogan is here, as an unquestionable belief, and those who have succeeded have embarked on this path. Mind is much more scientific than that.

The question that the two sat down to ask was to go straight to the heart of learning, and the old man Wang put forward the questions he wanted to ask together, Xu Chen was directly dumbfounded, this is not something he can solve, Xu Chen only understands the theme of the heart study, and he really can't resist the question of the old scholar Wang.

Although Xu Chen's skills are not so deep, he is also familiar with 300 Tang poems and tens of millions of Song words, this thing, I have seen a lot, and I will know a little, and the knowledge level is naturally higher than that of illiterate.

The most direct way is: I don't understand. If Xu Chen said it, it is estimated that Old Man Wang would sit on the ground and get up and kick Xu Chen: Ya, what kind of garlic are you pretending to be with Lao Tzu!

"I'll tell you a story." Xu Chen put aside the question and said.

"This is what a friend of mine told me.

In Yangzhou Hanging Temple lives a monk who has escaped into the empty door for 50 years, has never left the temple, and has been practicing. One day my friend went to the temple to talk with the monk all night, most of them were the monks of these years, before leaving, my friend asked him: Do you have relatives at home?

Answer: There is an eighty-year-old mother.

How many years haven't seen you?

Answer: Fifty-four years.

Do you want to be an old man? Answer: Yes.

Why don't you go home and visit?

After hearing this, the monk burst into tears, immediately packed up his salute and ran home.

After Xu Chen finished this classic story, Old Man Wang had already fallen into a state of contemplation, and the last time they met, Xu Chen also mentioned this story, but after talking about it here, it was already very lethal.

In addition, Xu Chen had also put forward a lot of theories of mind before, and this discussion ended in this story, but Xu Chen saw that it was already afternoon, and he studied it directly for several hours before giving up.

Then Wang Wei and Xu Chen discussed some of the above things, for the song "Water Tune Song Head", Old Man Wang was very appreciative, the little monk sent a meal at this time, and after eating, it was time to play chess.

The whole day is to play with Wang Wei, the old man Wang knows that the young man in front of him is the secretary of the military department, older than his own official, and he is still very busy, but this interest comes, regardless of what grade, this is called the smell of the same, seeing this horse is also happy to play, the goodwill will naturally double.

Xu Chen's chess skills, so that the old man Wang really dare not compliment, chess is very violent, Go this thing Xu Chen has also played, remember in the previous life with the old man in the community to play chess, while holding the mobile phone while playing, the old man took a step, Xu Chen on the mobile phone game to take a step, and then see how the mobile phone goes, and then learn to play with the old man, this is of course a joke learned online, but with the stubborn old man has always been practical, so that it has been tried and tested, the old man loses every day, as soon as he is empty, he pesters Xu Chen, so he learned a little chess skills.

Although he is violent, Wang Wei is an expert, and it is not a problem to deal with Xu Chen. After five games and four games, the killed piece of armor was not left, but Wang Wei smiled and said: "You are too unreasonable to play chess, and if you think it through, you won't be able to win against the old man."

Xu Chen asked Wang who the old man who ate in the restaurant last time was Xu Xu, but Wang Wei was mysterious, and he didn't say anything about it, but he told Xu Chen that if he saw that person in the future, he must stay away.

The two played until the afternoon, Xu Chen said goodbye, there were fewer people in the temple compared to the morning, and the ceremony of welcoming the Buddha's bones had been completed, and everyone dispersed after burning incense, but the Hu Shilang family in the courtyard still did not leave, at this time the old man Wang sent Xu Chen out, that is, he saw Hu Tong outside the hall and a middle-aged man in a wide robe and Hu clothes were explaining some things, this person Xu Chen is familiar, it seems to be a county lieutenant under the order of Qin County.

Hu Tong gave an order, and the man was ordered to go down, Xu Chen suddenly felt that something was wrong, this Hu Shilang came to incense, and he brought his own family, why did the county lieutenant follow. Coupled with the appearance of the female assassin, it was guessed that Hu Shilang was playing a trick again.

The last time Hu Tong laid a big net in the mansion, it was naturally a ghost in the female assassins' group, if he chose to assassinate here today, it would also be a good opportunity, and Hu Shilang secretly brought the county lieutenant over, he should have gotten the news, and the county lieutenant must have brought a lot of people to hide in the shadows.

It is estimated that this female assassin is going to be unlucky again, the last time the woman almost took her own life, the reason why she didn't kill her was because there were many reasons, Xu Chen was worried for several days, and the resentment in his heart was naturally difficult to eliminate. Hu Tong was obviously prepared, if the two sides merged, it would be best if Hu Shilang died, and if the female assassins and her gang were ambushed, it would not be too bad.

Just about to walk outside the temple, that Lord Hu happened to see Xu Chen, although the courtyard is big, there are not many people at this time, Hu Shilang's eyes are sharp, and Xu Chen is a little tall and handsome, naturally easy to recognize, Hu Shilang's dog eyes can be recognized by Xu Chen, who turned into ashes, at this time his brows were furrowed, and his brain flashed, and he chased Xu Chen to catch up.

"Lord Xu is also here to burn incense?" Hu Shilang was relatively short, trotted to Xu Chen, and said with a smile.

Looking back, it was Hu Tong who stopped him, and Xu Chen immediately replied with a smile on his face: "I didn't know that Master Hu was also there, I didn't come here to make incense and get together with old friends." ”

Hu Shilang smiled and nodded, his expression was not uncomfortable, and then asked, "Lord Xu, are you going back?" Alone? ”

"Exactly."

"It just so happens that I'm going to go home first, can we be a companion together?"

Xu Chen's heart immediately cooled a lot, and an ominous premonition suddenly came to his mind, there were too many coincidences today, why did they collide together, and there were so many people in the temple in the morning, and they just bumped into the female assassin, this ......

Since he said so, it's hard to say that he won't be with others, although this person must have a lot of resentment towards himself, but he has never shown it on the surface, and when it comes to such a point, he can only go together.

Only then did Hu Shilang turn around and run into the palace to explain to his family and prepare to return home.

There were not many family members in the hall, so Hu Shilang hurriedly called the county lieutenant in regular clothes and whispered: "If there is an emergency, don't worry about anyone's safety!" (To be continued.) )
