389 - Wild Zen
Monk Yuankong smiled and agreed: "Yes." β
Wang Xiaolai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Is there a place for the Zen master to settle down right now, if not, I will tell Your Majesty to go and find a good place for you?" β
Monk Yuankong waved his hand and shook his head: "Don't bother, I think this place is very good, girl, can the poor monk stay with you for a few days first?" β
This sentence was asked by Su Bailuo.
Su Bailuo nodded at that time: "If the master doesn't dislike the simplicity of the shop, then the little woman will be honored." β
Monk Yuankong laughed: "After all these years, your temper has not changed, girl." β
Wang Xiaolai stood up and said, "In that case, then I will enter the palace first and tell Your Majesty the news as soon as possible." β
Monk Yuankong nodded: "Go, go, go." β
Wang Xiaolai said goodbye, pulled Su Bailuo aside, took out a few ingots of silver from his pocket and handed them over.
Seeing this, Su Bailuo was also surprised: "Brother Wang, what do you mean by this?" β
Wang Xiaolai said with a smile: "It's nothing, isn't this thinking about letting people live here with you, can't you eat and drink for nothing, this silver, Sister Su, you can accept it." β
Su Bailuo was polite a few times, but Wang Xiaolai didn't give her a chance, seeing this, Su Bailuo had no other way but to accept it.
Saying goodbye to Monk Yuankong again, Wang Xiaolai and Hongxiang left the guest restaurant and went straight to the palace.
In the restaurant, looking at the back of Wang Xiaolai leaving, the little novice beside Yuankong couldn't figure it out, and asked his master: "Master, what is the meaning of the question you just asked the waiter?" β
Yuan Kong patted his bald head and smiled at the apprentice: "This, it's up to you to think for yourself." β
Xiao Shami thought about it for a long time and didn't understand, so he simply gave up: "Master, you better tell me directly." β
The old monk glared and snorted: "You kid, why do you let me tell you everything, if you go on like this, the master will be gone in the future, how will you inherit the mantle of the master?" Explain the scriptures to people? β
Hearing this, the little novice lowered his head and muttered, "Come on, I don't want to inherit your mantle, your meditation is different from mine." β
When the monk heard this, he smiled and picked up a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth, and asked, "Apprentice, the master asked you, do you know which three parts you must go through in your cultivation?" β
The little monk was a little impatient: "I know, looking at the mountain is a mountain, looking at the mountain is not a mountain, looking at the mountain is still a mountain." β
Yuan Kong nodded: "That's right, it's these three parts." β
The little monk immediately retorted: "But master, those are the three parts that you must go through in your cultivation, not what I want to go through. β
Yuankong smiled: "It's all the same, it's all the same." β
The little monk just pursed his lips and muttered that you are practicing mental meditation, and there will be ghosts as well.
Listening to the little monk's muttering in his ears, Yuan Kong just smiled and didn't continue to say anything else.
The world only knows that my Yuankong monk cultivates the heart Zen, only the heart, not the mouth.
No one ever knows that what you cultivate is actually mad meditation, not cultivating the mind, not cultivating the mouth, everything, but you have to obey the original intention.
"Look at the mountain is a mountain, look at the mountain is not a mountain, look at the mountain is still a mountain, Wang Xiaolai, I don't know, what class are you in your crazy Zen?"
Monk Yuankong smiled slightly.
Β·Β·Β·
Coming out of the guest restaurant, Wang Xiaolai went straight to the palace and told the empress the news that the monk Yuankong had arrived.
Look at this look, I don't pay attention to it at all.
Just wondering what was going on, the empress smiled and said, "Little Laizi, tell you good news." β
Wang Xiaolai: "??? Good news, what good news? β
The empress put down the pen in her hand and said: "The battle report came from the eastern front and the western front at the same time, Lu Gong has forced Nurhari to Wuwei County, and now, 20,000 remnants of the western border are trapped in Wuwei, and Lu Gong can wave his troops to take Nurhari at will." β
Wang Xiaolai was taken aback: "Is it so strong?" β
The empress nodded: "Of course, that's Lu Wuving, a little Nurhari, can he be Lu Gong's opponent?" In this way, the words promised by Lu Gong to recover Yongliang in March when he set out on the expedition that day could be fulfilled on time. β
The empress was happy, and Wang Xiaolai was in a good mood, and then asked, "What is the good news on the battlefield on the Eastern Front?" β
The empress smiled: "Compared to the battlefield on the Western Front, the battlefield on the Eastern Front really frightened me at the beginning. β
"Your Majesty, why do you say that?"
"When the old general Zhao Yuanche had not yet arrived at the front line, guess what Zhao Sui did?"
Wang Xiaolai asked: "Induce Fang to intercept the attack?" Almost took the Eastern Capital? β
The empress nodded: "Yes, it seems that I underestimated Zhao Sui before." This person is very good at attacking the heart, saw the weakness of Fang Jie, almost failed to take Xiaoyang, broke the eastern defense line, fortunately, the old general arrived in time, stabilized the situation, and organized troops to repel Zhao Sui's attack. β
Wang Xiaolai said: "As the so-called one go, now the rebels have been deflated twice on the battlefield in the Eastern Capital, which is a big blow to their morale, as long as the old general sticks to it, and waits for the victorious return of Marquis Lu, then the eighteenth road against the king, Your Majesty is not me blowing with you, I can do it." β
The empress took a sip: "Go, Shao Poor Mouth, how is Zen Master Yuankong?" β
Wang Xiaolai nodded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have discussed it with the old monk, and the water and land dojo will be held the day after tomorrow, and I will keep things that can't delay you." β
The empress sighed: "This is the best, the people of Daxing City are in urgent need of such a ritual right now." β
While the empress was talking, Wang Xiaolai muttered: "Your Majesty, I didn't say you, you don't feel distressed when you spend so much money to do such a ceremony?" Anyway, the people have never seen the old monk Yuankong, you just pull a bald head, just say that he is, and the people don't know it, so it saves money. β
Listening to Wang Xiaolai's words, the empress said angrily: "This bad trick is what you can think of, as the king of a country, I found a fake one, if I am recognized, where is my face, where is Sui Yang's face?" β
Wang Xiaolai said: "So Your Majesty, you will use my silver as your face?" β
The empress sighed, grabbed Wang Xiaolai's arm, and said a little coquettishly: "It's a big deal, after defeating Zhao Sui, I will give you a little bit of the silver he hid in Guangling." β
It can be seen that the empress is indeed happy, otherwise she would not have made such a fuss with Wang Xiaolai.
"Your Majesty, this is what you said, and you won't regret it when the time comes." Wang Xiaolai said.
The empress pouted disdainfully: "Do you think I'm you, backtracking?" β
Wang Xiaolai: "Β·Β·Β·"
Wang Xiaolai didn't pay attention to the empress's loss at all, compared to the empress's promise, what is this ridicule?
The property of King Guangling, who is known as the richest man in the world, let alone a little, if you pick it out casually, it will be higher than your current worth.
As a result, Wang Xiaolai immediately clapped his ass without discipline.
Β·Β·Β·
stayed in the palace until the evening, Wang Xiaolai said goodbye to the empress, left the palace, and took the red incense that had been waiting at the noon gate all afternoon, and the two drove to their homes together.
Although the road is still full of people, compared with Daxing City a year ago, it is still much more deserted.
It can be seen that the coup d'Γ©tat on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, coupled with the fighting on the front line for several days, really made the people of Daxing City uneasy.
Driving forward, Wang Xiaolai sat on the wheel, because Hongxiang couldn't drive, so the driver's position could only be done by Wang Xiaolai himself.
Of course, Hongxiang is not the person who doesn't know the importance of it, and he didn't listen to Wang Xiaolai's words and sit in the car, but sat on the wheel with Wang Xiaolai.
The two of them, like brothers and sisters, drove and walked, and while walking, Wang Xiaolai returned the red fragrance on the side.
This girl is thin-skinned and can't accept the meat jokes in Wang Xiaolai's mouth, so that on the way out of the palace, her face has been red and has never stopped.
If this is replaced by Li Shuangyu, I am afraid that I will start driving with Wang Xiaolai, the old driver, on the spot.
Talking and laughing, Wang Xiaolai suddenly stopped, Hongxiangqiao raised his head with a shy face, glanced at Wang Xiaolai, and didn't know what Wang Xiaolai was going to do.
Looking in the direction Wang Xiaolai was facing, Hongxiang was stunned.
Across the street, there were four or five people, all dressed as Confucian scholars, standing there, blocking the way, without saying a word.
