Chapter 328: Yulin Store
It turned out that "Brother Xin" saw the heavy rain that fell violently on Chen Yi's head, and he automatically separated.
In this pouring rain, there was not a drop of water on his body, even the clothes on his body, his feet and shoes were dry and clean, not to mention the water, it seemed that even the dust was not stained at all.
He usually likes to read strange stories, and often imagines all kinds of strange things in books.
When I saw such a vision, I immediately thought of it.
Cheng Shilian shook his head and said: "Brother Xin, this is Master Sanzang, and he is a monk with a way, don't be rude." ”
Turning around, Chen Yi shook slightly: "Master Sanzang, this is Xin Pingping, Brother Xin, is the county lieutenant of Gao'an County, Hongzhou, and is a friend of the same township, Brother Xin has always been curious to talk about strange things, the master's magical powers are amazing, he is just surprised for a while, and I hope that the master is not strange." ”
Since the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism has risen and fallen several times.
It is because the emperors of the Tang Dynasty had many people who liked Buddha and Taoism.
And today, he happens to be a good Buddha.
The top is good, and the bottom is effective.
People in Buddhism have a lot of courtesy.
For Buddhist monks, it is even more respectful.
This master of Sanzang is not only outstanding, but also profound in Buddhism, superb in knowledge, and has an unfathomable ability, Cheng Shilian has always been in awe.
"Amitabha, naturally it's not strange."
Chen Yi shook his head and saluted with one palm on his chest: "This layman doesn't need to panic, the little monk is a human being, not a ghost." ”
Xin Pingping calmed down a little, reoccupied the high ground with reason, and realized that his previous reaction was a little abrupt, and he couldn't help but show embarrassment, and accused him again and again.
"Xin Jushi doesn't have to be like this,"
Chen Yi stopped, not wanting to be endlessly entangled in such a trivial matter, and staggered his words: "The little monk is just ahead, and I happened to hear the words of the two laymen who are worried about the country and the king, and I admire them very much, but I don't want to eavesdrop in private, so I came to meet and wanted to ask the two laymen for advice, but ......"
Chen Yi glanced at the two of them: "This wilderness, heavy rain, not a place to stay, three miles ahead, there is an elm forest, there is an inn in the forest, two laymen, you might as well go there to settle down, so as to avoid this heavy rain." ”
"Oh, there is an inn in the wild forest in the mountains? That's great! Brother Cheng, what are you waiting for? Hurry! ”
Xin was overjoyed.
The rain was pouring down, and it was difficult to see ten zhang away, and he didn't wonder how this monk knew that there was an inn ahead.
He was drenched by the heavy rain, and he was very upset, and hurriedly urged Shi Lian.
Cheng Shilian shook his head and thanked Chen Yi.
The three of them walked together and galloped westward.
Although the two of them were literati, they also practiced martial arts.
Otherwise, they are also officials, big and small, and they will not even bring an entourage without a single person, but only two people will come to Beijing in groups to report on their work.
It's not slow to run, let alone Chen.
With him to show the way, it didn't take long to walk three miles.
Sure enough, I saw a Yulin in front of me, only at the intersection, I saw a few tile houses, there were banners on the eaves that fluttered in the rain, and the words "Yulin shop" could still be seen.
The two ran into the inn in embarrassment, and Chen Yi stepped into the store unhurriedly.
This Yulin store looks very simple from the outside, but it is the same on the outside and inside as it is, and it is also very simple inside, and it is dusty and dirty everywhere, the lights are dim, and it is very gloomy and filthy.
There are a few low couches in the store, and there are already many people in the store, each on the couch, or eating wine and food on the table, or lying on the couch and falling asleep.
Seeing someone coming in, only a few people glanced up slightly and ignored it.
There was only one clean-looking bed left, and only one person in green was occupying it, lying on his side on the couch with his back to several people.
Cheng Xin and the others frowned slightly.
At this time, the store had already greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Two adults, but do you want to eat and stay in a hotel?"
Xin Ping frowned and said, "I have to eat the rice, and the store has to live, but you don't have a place here for me to wait for the meal?" ”
"Yes, yes!"
The shopkeeper said in a loud voice.
He ushered in the send-off, and his eyes were sharp.
Although these two people were covered in mud and water and looked very embarrassed, they were wearing extraordinary clothes, and they were wearing official clothes.
On the test of the title, I saw that the two of them had ordinary faces, obviously they had long been used to it, and they were more determined.
How many times has he seen nobles in this place?
How can you not serve it?
Not to mention the two adults, even the monk behind him doesn't look ordinary.
But a monk is just a monk, where is it important to have an adult?
The smile on the shopkeeper's face was even more flattering: "The two adults will wait a while, and the small ones will go to the adults to vacate their seats!" ”
As he spoke, he bent over and turned around, trotted towards the green-clothed man, called twice, but when he didn't respond, he directly reached out and shook it, shouting in his mouth: "Wake up!" ”
The green-clothed customer was shaken awake and was very unhappy, but the shopkeeper turned a blind eye: "Hurry up and give up this place to those two adults!" ”
The green-clothed guest propped up his upper body and glanced back, his expression ugly.
"Why is this shop so rude?"
At the door, Xin Pingping saw this, his face was displeased, and he walked over in a few steps: "Why is your store so unreasonable?" Everything is always said to come first and come first, what do you do to drive people? ”
The shopkeeper smiled flatteringly, and said as a matter of course: "How can he compare with the two adults?" You are an official, he is a people, and you should give in. ”
"How can't it be compared?"
Xin Pingping said: "You are not an official post here, when you live in a hotel, you have to talk about the government and the people, and talk about your identity?" Hurry up! Find another place to wait, and don't disturb others. ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The shopkeeper didn't know where the horse's fart slapped the horse's leg, and he left in embarrassment.
"Because of our disturbance, it has disturbed your peace, please continue to rest in peace."
Xin Ping bowed slightly, then turned around and returned to the door.
The man in green glanced at him and lay back on the couch.
It didn't take long for the store to come back again.
It happened that the guests on one of the couches finished drinking and eating, and they didn't plan to stay overnight, so they left in the heavy rain.
This couch happened to be next to the green-clothed guest.
Finally having a place to rest, Cheng Xin and the others asked the store for hot water, and went to the back of the house to change and wash.
Chen Yi sat on the couch by himself and looked around.
I have to say that this ancient inn is really not as comfortable and antique as it is seen in TV and movies.
It's not nothing, but that's the treatment that only high-ranking officials and nobles have.
Ordinary people are more like this.
A bed that can be used to sit or lie down, is both a place to eat and a place to sleep.
There is not even a curtain, what is the No. 1 room of Tianzi? It's even more.
Chen Yi's eyes turned around and fell on the green-clothed guest lying on the couch not far away, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
He closed his eyes and said nothing, sitting cross-legged on the couch, like an old monk in his meditation.
After a while, Cheng Xin and the others returned here in a dry state.
The store delivered a table of food at the right time.
Xin Pingping glanced at the green-clothed guest next to him and said, "Your Excellency, if you haven't fallen asleep, you might as well eat some wine and food together, and it will be regarded as a reparation for disturbing Your Excellency's sleep." ”
The green-clothed guest moved, turned over and sat up, with a happy expression on his face: "In this case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
At that moment, he really walked over generously and took a seat on the couch.
Each reported their names and surnames, and the original surname of this green-clothed guest was Wang Mingzhen, who was a person from Chang'an, a person from the Wang family of Kaihuafang, and a wealthy family.
His demeanor is calm, and in a few words, his conversation is not like ordinary vulgarity.
After talking, it is even more obvious that the words are bright, the insight is extraordinary, and the thinking is difficult to reach.
Ling Xin Pingping admired it very much, carried the wine jug, and poured wine again and again to persuade him to drink.
Even Cheng Shilian looked at him a little sideways and drank several glasses with him.
Chen Yi was only eating by himself, ignoring others, and Cheng Xin and the others seemed to ignore him and forget him.
At this time, the man in green swept over him, intentionally or unintentionally, raised his glass and drank it, and talked as usual.
Xin Pingping's face was already red at this time, slightly drunk, and he raised his glass and sighed: "The world often says: all things are born, only I am the most spiritual. In the book of sages, it is also said that man is the most spiritual, but people don't even know what they eat tomorrow, what they do, where they go, the future is bright and dark, when they will be born and when they will die, and they don't know how to be the spirit. ”
"Hehe......"
That Wang Zhen chuckled: "Life in the world, every word, rest, drink and peck is nothing more than predetermined......"
