Halfway up the mountain, you can see the shadow of the mountain gate of Hongji Temple.

The simple and solemn mountain gate, hidden in the pine and cypress, stands under the blue sky for many years, immortal, undefeated, quietly watching the prosperity of the world, the torrent of years.

The bronze bell on the mountain rang again, and the ethereal Sanskrit sound lingered in the mountains, and the people were quiet when they heard it.

When An Sheng heard this Sanskrit sound, he couldn't help but stop for a moment.

When Lu Zheng saw her stop, he also stopped and listened silently.

After a while, the Sanskrit sound stopped, and An Sheng continued to walk upward.

"Does the prince know, Hongji Temple, how long has the temple been built?"

Lu Zheng didn't seem to expect that An Sheng would suddenly ask about this, and after being stunned for a moment, he thought about it carefully before replying: "If I remember well, this Hongji Temple was built by the previous dynasty, so far, it should be more than 500 years old, it is an ancient temple with a long history, and many monks in the temple are still the relics of the previous dynasty." ”

This is an official secret, but it is not surprising that Lu Zheng can know.

After all, his identity is there, and he naturally knows some of the secrets of the court.

An Sheng listened to Lu Zheng's words, and seemed to have found a suitable topic for small talk, so he also said: "I heard the master mention some of it, but the master refused to say too much, so I don't know the specifics, but I have heard that there is a master who was once a world-renowned Confucian, particularly knowledgeable and talented, but I have no chance to see it, I heard that the master is not only good at the subset of scripture and history, but also the art of war and military affairs, and is also very accomplished." ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

An Sheng's words seemed to be unintentional, but it made Lu Zheng's heart move when he heard it.

"You're talking about it, but the Master of Purification?"

"The prince also knows the Master of Emptiness? Have you ever had the pleasure of meeting this master? An Sheng seems to be particularly curious about the Master of Air Purification.

When Lu Zheng heard An Sheng's question, his face changed slightly, and then he said: "When I was young, I met with my grandfather, but later, I never saw each other again. ”

"That's right," An Sheng nodded, and said, "I heard that Master Kongjing rarely meets outsiders, and it seems that the son of the world is not shallow in his Buddha's fate, so he can enter the master's eyes." ”

An Sheng's words were originally with a slightly envious tone, but he didn't expect that after hearing this, Lu Zheng smiled bitterly.

An Sheng was puzzled, so he listened to Lu Zheng and said: "Where is my deep Buddha relationship, it depends on my grandfather's face, and the master is willing to see me, at that time, my grandfather wanted to ask the master to teach me, but you also know that since the master entered Buddhism, he no longer accepts apprentices to teach, so although he has his grandfather's face, the master still did not make an exception, and later, my grandfather went to the northwest... He never came back, and the matter of apprenticeship was gone. ”

"I'm really sorry, it's An Sheng's mouth, which reminds the prince of sadness." There was a flash of sadness on Lu Zheng's face, how could An Sheng not see it.

However, even so, she still has to say this today.

Even if Lu Zheng felt unhappy, she had to say it.

This move should be returned, that time in the narrow alley of the dark night, Lu Zheng's kindness to save her life.

Although Lu Zheng may not know that it was her who saved her that time, she herself couldn't, taking everything for granted and erasing it lightly.

The taste of owing favors is not pleasant, especially the life-saving feelings owed.

Naturally, she wouldn't mention the Master of Empty Purity for no reason, but some words are not easy to say too plainly, and it is not good to arouse suspicion for no reason.

I just hope that Lu Zheng is a thoughtful person, and it would be good if he could understand what she meant.

"My grandfather has been dead for many years, there is nothing that can't be mentioned, Miss doesn't have to care." Lu Zheng obviously didn't understand what An Sheng meant.

In other words, he didn't think of anything else for a while because he saw An Sheng apologize and was busy comforting her.

An Sheng also guessed this, so he said: "An Sheng also inadvertently remembered Master Kongjing, but he didn't want to, it would lead to the old Guogong, in the end, it was An Sheng's sin, but An Sheng still had to say more, the old Guogong can take the son to worship the Master of Kongjing as a teacher, which shows that he has far-reaching vision." ”

Lu Zheng listened to An Sheng's words and nodded.

Then, with a bit of nostalgia and admiration, he said: "Grandfather, is indeed a long-term person, back then, he also valued the erudition of the master of the empty purity, so he wanted to send me to the master of the empty purity, learn more things, but unfortunately, the master has entered the empty door, and the connection between the worldly and the mundane, it is also broken, even though the grandfather has some friendship with the master, but it is not easy to force, and then later, the grandfather died, this matter, no one has mentioned it, although I admire the master's talent, but I dare not disturb the master Qingxiu. ”

After listening to Lu Zheng's words, An Sheng knew that he still wanted to learn from Master Air Purification.

Then there is a door.

"The master once said to me," An Sheng said as he walked slowly upward, "He said that in this world, there is no one at all who can really have no connection with the world, everything is just idealism, as long as your mind is calm, where you are, what you do, is all practice." ”

"The time that the master of empty purification has been in Hongji Temple for a longer time than the master, and the cultivation is higher than that of the master. An Sheng said, suddenly stopped, and looked at Lu Zheng with a smile.

Lu Zheng was stunned by An Sheng.

Then, his eyes flashed slightly, and then, cautiously, asked An Sheng, "You mean, Master Empty Purity, may agree to teach me?" ”

"An Sheng didn't dare to say this," An Sheng lowered his head and smiled when he heard this, and then continued to step up, "It's just idealism, what does the prince think in his heart, why not try to do it?" Give it a try, and even if it doesn't work, at least you won't regret it in the future. ”

yes, why didn't he give it a try?

Lu Zheng thought that since his grandfather took him to see Master Empty Purity that time, he had never fought for it himself, and after so many years, he gradually forgot about it.

But now when I heard An Sheng mention it, I suddenly realized what I had missed over the years.

I still remember that when my grandfather took him up the mountain, he told him that their Lu family has made meritorious achievements for generations and has produced many famous generals, but there is no one who is really handsome.

His grandfather said that he had this qualification, so he was going to send him to meet a famous teacher.

But in the end, the master did not succeed, and the grandfather went to the battlefield in a hurry, and then the grandfather never returned.

The matter of apprenticeship is over.

After so many years, everyone in the Lu family has almost forgotten about this matter, and they don't want to, but today they heard about it again from An Sheng's mouth.

Thinking back to An Sheng's sudden mention of the Master of Empty Purification, it seemed to mean something.

Lu Zheng's mind was racing, and suddenly, he seemed to understand something.

Looking up, but seeing that An Sheng had already walked some distance, Lu Zheng hurriedly put away the thoughts in his heart and strode after him.

In his heart, it seemed to float into a ball of catkins, moving gently and softly, teasing his heart, softening for a while. 10
