It's dark at night, and if you're in Tokyo, it's still bustling with people. Li Kui, who has lived in the capital for almost a year, does not have much of a good impression of the Great Song Dynasty, but the night in Tokyo is still a very desirable place. Businesses that hibernate during the day flourish at night, and as long as you have money in your pocket, Tokyo City is definitely a man's paradise.

It's a pity that in Western Xia, in Youzhou, the streets are already pitch black.

The few lights come from the bonfires at the head of the city, and the lanterns in front of the few mansions.

When the moonlight is good, you can still have a little speed in the car. But if the moonlight is bad, it will be a sin. The black and dark around him couldn't see his five fingers, as if he was in his mother's womb, and he couldn't see anything clearly. Only the lanterns on the carriage give some comfort to those who walk at night. To say that in such a situation, what is the fare for the ride?

In addition to the voice, it is still the voice.

"Gollum!"

"Woo-"

"The car is coming!"

Anyway, all kinds of chatter can't stop.

In the past few days, Li Bingqian's temper has risen, the reason is very simple, he feels that Li Kui can't trust him. When he said this, even Li Bingqian felt funny, how could Li Kui trust Li Bingqian. Although they are all surnamed Li, Li Kui is a Han Chinese, and Li Bingqian is a member of the party. Their ancestors were not a family.

In addition, although Li Kui pinched Li Bingqian's handle, in case Li Bingqian broke the jar, he would go to extremes. At least in Western Xia, Li Kui didn't have much to do with Li Bingqian.

It is reasonable for Li Kui to accompany him to deal with Li Bingqian carefully. It's just that Li Bingqian's thoughts are even more aggrieved, he has no money in his pocket, and Li Kui's people are guarding all the gold. Even if he went out to visit his protégé, he was shy and didn't even have the money to buy gifts. But what's worse is that Li Bingqian appeared in Youzhou as a wealthy person, and if people knew that he couldn't even get the money to buy gifts on the street, wouldn't it arouse suspicion?

What's even more annoying is that no matter who Li Bingqian goes to see, Li Kui always sends someone to follow.

This made Li Bingqian more and more tired of this relationship, and simply asked Li Kui to follow him.

Lord!

Playing petty should be satisfied.

Therefore, these days, Li Kui also followed Li Bingqian to visit many local tribal leaders in Youzhou. It's just that most of the tribal leaders are not there, and there is such a big mess in Longzhou, and Youzhou is the first to bear the brunt of it, so he has to prepare to send troops to fight. But in last year's war, the tribes didn't make any money, and this time the tribal leaders in Youzhou were not too active. It seems that he still has the intention of breaking with the court.

Of course, how big is Li Kui's identity that can give Li Bingqian a car?

It's impossible, the job of driving the car falls on Ruan Xiaoer, and the prince must be as imposing as a rainbow when he travels. Anyway, if he bumped into someone, Ruan Xiaoer was not worried, this was Western Xia, not the Great Song Dynasty, and no one was bothering him. Along the way, the prince Li Bingqian was rolled around in the carriage like a Lantern Festival.

The wheels swept swiftly across the gravel road in Youzhou City, and the carriage howled as if it was about to fall apart.

If his subordinates were so ignorant of etiquette, Li Bingqian, as a prince, would have been angry a long time ago. There is a way that the state has national laws, and the family has family rules, is it possible that the rules of the palace are decorations? But Ruan Xiaoer bullied him, but he felt that it was logical, after all, Li Kui's mood was not good. In addition, Li Kui was also in the car, and he was still eating dust outside the carriage, so after thinking about it, Li Bingqian didn't feel that he was being bullied.

On the contrary, he thought that Li Kui deliberately couldn't get along with him.

Come on!

Hurt each other, who has this king been afraid of?

Li Bingqian gritted his teeth and forcibly refused to let the wine eaten at the banquet squirt out, but Li Kui was like an ass growing on the car board, shaking his body from time to time.

"Little Er, be careful, something is wrong ahead."

Li Kui suddenly reminded Ruan Xiaoer that the moonlight tonight was not bad, although it was not as clear as the full moon, but it could still identify the road to some extent. Ruan Xiaoer said casually: "Young master, it's a pond!" ”

Li Kui didn't find it strange at first, the pond, at night, especially on a moonlit night, would shine the moon on the pond, making people's eyes deceived.

But the problem is, it doesn't seem to rain much in this part of Youzhou, right?

Immediately, Li Kui became vigilant and said to Ruan Xiaoer: "Slow down, call ......"

"Young master, don't get in the way, it's so late, there's no one on the street at all." Ruan Xiaoer said it easily, but he still obeyed Li Kui's order and lowered his speed.

"Oops! I'm dying! ”

Suddenly, the bright light seemed to shake for a while, and then disappeared, and there was a frightened sound, Ruan Xiaoer subconsciously pulled the reins and stopped the carriage, only to find that a monk had fallen on the ground.

The bright light I saw before should be the monk's bright brain.

Reaching out and probing the tip of the monk's nose, Ruan Xiaoer said innocently: "Still panting?" I didn't hit him! ”

Not to mention Li Kui, even Li Bingqian was stopped by Ruan Xiaoer in a hurry, staggered out of the carriage, lay on the wheel, and retched vigorously. Suddenly, he hurriedly rushed out of the car and threw up against the wall.

Li Kui squatted in front of the monk, after all, it was night, even if there was moonlight, it was not real. Li Kui didn't believe Ruan Xiaoer's words at all, and complained: "You didn't hit him, why did he fall to the ground?" ”

"Maybe it's for money!" There are many idlers in Tokyo City who specialize in this kind of business, and Ruan Xiaoer also fought hard, in order to clear up the relationship for himself, he simply pressed the other party's morality and stepped on the ground. In his opinion, monks are the most difficult group of people to deal with. If you call Hanako, you won't dare to come down to him to ask for money when you see him. Even if he came to him to ask for food and money, he glared at him and scolded angrily: "Get out! "Flee like a frightened wild dog.

But the monks are not afraid, they hold a bowl, they are kind and polite, and then their eyes are staring straight at your money bag.

Don't give?

Monks are not afraid of such stingy people, compared to leisure, monks and Taoist priests and the like are probably the most boring people. They have a lot of time to splurge. From the past life to this life, and then talk to you about filial piety, how is the family? Even a bad-tempered kid like Ruan Xiaoer has been extorted by a monk, which can be seen.

"Don't say weird things. Let's see if it's dead, if it's ...... dead."

"Hey, am I in hell? Let's go, the Buddha said, sacrifice one's life to be blissful, and that's it! ”

"Monk, don't try to slander people. I didn't hit you at all when I drove the car before, but I didn't expect you to scream and fall to the ground, do you dare to say that you are not a liar? ”

Master Zhiguang is about to explode, he has grown so big, no one has ever said that he is slanderous?

His eyes slowly froze on Ruan Xiaoer's face, and he said softly: "Child, you and my Buddha are destined......

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Ruan Xiaoer said with a gloomy face: "Say, how much do you want?" ”

Master Zhiguang was stunned, he said that Ruan Xiaoer had a relationship with the Buddha, that was because he recognized Ruan Xiaoer, who had come to Jueming Temple, which was the little servant of the prince Li Bingqian. His original intention was to praise Ruan Xiaoer for a few words to make the other party happy, and there was no need to mention this matter again. He didn't feel the pain of being hit in his body, and he didn't stand still because of fright and a little hungry and weak. But he didn't expect to be misunderstood as a slander, which made the old monk very dissatisfied: "The old man is a monk, how can he slander people?" ”

"Well, you said that you don't have to sleep in the temple at night, and you actually stand in front of someone else's mansion, what is your intention?"

It's not easy for Gen Zhiguang to say this because he's here to ask for money.

If he agreed, wouldn't he have been said by Ruan Xiaoer. At this time, Li Kui also recognized the identity of Master Zhiguang from his voice, and pretended to help Li Bingqian.

secretly told Li Bingqian about the situation.

Li Bingqian asked softly in surprise, "What is he doing here?" ”

"I'm afraid it won't be that I can't sleep, right?"

Li Kui meant something, Li Bingqian was dizzy before, but now he is sober. Don't look at any masters, when you see the golden gold, no one can help it. Poor for your own gold. Li Bingqian felt that he still had to cool Master Zhiguang, and he was drunk here, how could he sober up so quickly?

Li Kui pretended to help Li Bingqian into the mansion, and Ruan Xiaoer saw that his young master was not there, his eyes rolled, and he smiled at Master Zhiguang and asked, "Has the master eaten?" ”

Master Zhiguang was dissatisfied with Ruan Xiaoer before, but with the sentence 'meal', his mood suddenly improved a lot. He stood hungry for almost four or five hours, and his chest was already pressed against his back. At this time, Ruan Xiaoer asked him for dinner, so that he could not bear to be hungry. If I hadn't been hungry and thirsty just now, I'm afraid I wouldn't have fallen.

Master Zhiguang shook his head softly and said, "No! ”

"You wait!"

Soon, Ruan Xiaoer took a broken bowl, put some food in the bowl, and put it in front of Master Zhiguang. He was just about to say thanks, but saw the door of the mansion slam shut.

Looking down at the food in the bowl, the old monk's eyes welled up with tears.

He's here to show his heart to the Seventh Prince! I'm not here to ask for food!

But in fact, Master Zhiguang asked for a bowl of cold rice, and then hesitated to eat it? Or do you throw the bowl the ground to show your integrity?

In the end, I couldn't help it and tasted it......

Following.

Master Zhiguang's expression was sad, and he appeared in front of Li Bingqian's mansion early in the morning. This time, the treatment was good, and in broad daylight, the prince's doorman also saw him. He bowed over and saluted him, "I don't know where the mage came from?" ”

"Zhiguang, the abbot of Jueming Temple, please also inform the prince."

After sobering up, Li Bingqian covered his head in the courtyard, and he felt that the decline of the party members was justified. The tribal leader knows how to drink wine every day, won't he learn from the Song people to drink tea?

When you drink, your brain becomes dumber and your reactions become slower, but you become more and more impulsive.

Drinking tea will make people hungry and clear. Judgment from above.

This is the gap, the gap in national habits.

"Lord Wang, Master Zhiguang asks to see you!"

This time, Fei Tingdoro didn't take any benefits, and who was going to do it. In Western Xia, the Merit Division was completely under the jurisdiction of the senior monks of the monasteries in various places, and although Master Zhiguang was not a great teacher, he also had a certain identity in the Merit Division. And the Merit Division had a high status and power in Western Xia. Fei Tingdora dared to bully Zhiguang's apprentice, but he didn't dare to make things difficult for him.

Li Bingqian rubbed his head and said in his heart: "This perseverance is not small. After that, he raised his hand and said to Fei Tingdoro: "Please." Wait, call Li Kui first. ”

"Lord Wang, ...... this Li Kui?" After Fei Tingduoluo met with his own prince Li Bingqian in Youzhou, he found that there was an extra Li Kui by the prince's side. It seems that the prince is controlled by Li Kui everywhere, which makes him quite dissatisfied. But the question is, if Li Bingqian is controlled by Li Kui, is it possible? He can't be sure, is it his own prince who trusts Li Kui? Or is it really controlled by Li Kui?

"Lord Wang!"

"Mage!"

"What did you do today?"

Seeing that someone seemed to be setting up a car in the palace, Master Zhiguang was really a little anxious, and couldn't help but ask Li Bingqian: "Is the prince leaving?" ”

"Yes, a few days ago, I met a disciple of the famous national teacher who invited this king to go to the Huguo Temple. No, I was about to go to the city to change some camels for the horses, so that I could hurry. ”

Li Bingqian opened his eyes and said nonsense, but the disciples of the famous national teacher did not invite him. This was his way of deliberately making Master Zhiguang anxious. Now it seems that the method has been successful, and Master Zhiguang believes it.

"Lord, I heard that the prince is preparing thousands of taels of gold to paste gold for the Buddha?" Master Zhiguang couldn't wait to take a knife and force Li Bingqian to leave the gold.

Li Bingqian's expression was slightly stunned, and then his face was not very good-looking: "Who did the mage listen to?" ”

"Lord, the old man also asked the prince to consider staying in Jueming Temple, if you come to the Faxiang, Jueming Temple dares to say that Daxia is the first, and everyone dares to say that it is second. This is one of them. The second is that as long as the prince is gracious, the old man will take the prince as the head of the horse. "Master Zhiguang is out of the way, if this is going around in circles, and using the method of leaving immediately, it is estimated that the gold will have nothing to do with Jueming Temple. Of course, it was not enough to show his heart, so he took out a volume of "Diamond Sutra" and dedicated it to Li Bingqian.

When Li Bingqian got the scriptures, he was a little unhappy. The scroll is a bit tattered and appears to be an antiquity. But it could also be that the preservation was not ideal, and it caused damage.

As long as the whole people are not civilians, they are no strangers to Buddhist scriptures.

Most of the Buddhist scriptures in Western Xia are written in Chinese characters, Li Bingqian turned a few pages, and became excited, looked up at Master Zhiguang, and said with an uneasy face: "Master, this is?" ”

"The treasure of this temple, let the prince keep it on his behalf, it is the most appropriate." In this way, sending is not called sending, it is called keeping. Master Zhiguang's face remained unchanged, and then he explained to Li Bingqian: "This is the "Diamond Sutra" copied by the Xiangshan monks of the previous dynasty for their mother's blessings, and it is said that a whole hundred copies were copied back then, and they were scattered and hidden in monasteries all over the country. Although Jueming Temple is not an ancient temple, it is fortunate to have obtained one of them. ”

When outsiders are present, Li Kui can't be bold, after all, the prince's face should always be given. However, the Buddhist scriptures copied by the Xiangshan monks should be the Buddhist scriptures copied by the legendary Bai Juyi. Li Kui's hot eyes clearly meant that he wanted to.

"Lord Wang, for the sake of Master Zhiguang's sincerity, it is better to decorate the Buddha statue of Jueming Temple, so that you can appease the wishes of the concubine; Second, the great power teacher is probably not short of this bit of gold from the prince. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, even if the great master is going to come to ask, please let the old man give the prince a chance to explain." Master Zhiguang is not afraid of great teachers, everyone is a Buddhist, according to the generation, Master Zhiguang can still get some cheap. But Li Bingqian is different, the name is not just a surname in Western Xia, but more on behalf of the presiding officer of the royal temple, and his status is transcendent.

At the same time, the name of the name is also a royal family.

Li Bingqian pretended to hesitate, looked at Li Kui and said, "Don't you think the Buddha statue in Jueming Temple is too big?" ”

"The Buddha statue is big, we can repair the smaller ones." Master Zhiguang didn't wait for Li Kui to speak, and he helped explain.

immediately looked at Li Kui, and felt that the other party's bearing was extraordinary, and when I saw him for the first time, I thought it was a warrior beside Li Bingqian, which shows that Li Bingqian's tone towards Li Kui does not seem to be simple. looked at the prince Li Bingqian and asked, "Who is this?" ”

"The craftsman who pasted gold on the Buddha statue, the master invited by the king from the Song Kingdom, Master Li. He will help the king choose the right temple and Buddha statue, and paste it with gold. ”

Yes!

Yes!

The two exclamations sounded almost at the same time, Li Kui was surprised, but Master Zhiguang showed annoyance, knowing that Li Kui was so important and should prepare a gift to send.

Li Kui, who was cheated by Li Bingqian, turned back to Luda and the others, and said to a few of them: "Li Bingqian's house is not a thing, he actually asked me to supervise the work for him, I told him to say yes, this time with our people, you just go into battle together and try to gild the Buddha statue." Do a good job for me, don't embarrass the Great Song Craftsman. ”

Luda lamented a few times: "My lord, we won't sigh! ”

"You don't, just fool the monk as if I would. If you know that you don't need to paste gold, it will be much easier to paint gold. Li Kui was annoyed. It's a pity, where can the gold paint compare with the cost and style of gold pasting?

Bad old nose!

And Li Kui is ready to start his career as a master.
