Chapter 222: Chen Zheng
A Buddha, standing up to the sky and the earth, backed by the thirty-six immortal domains, running the sun, moon and stars in his palm, immeasurable stars, and looking down at all beings.
All beings worship.
Reciting the Buddha's name, looking at the big Buddha who stands on the top of the sky and the earth, and is full of admiration and awe.
The second emperor of the heavens and all worlds.
From Buddhism.
"The Jade Emperor has a decree, wishing the Buddha of the West to preach, and bestowing the position of the five elders, who are extremely noble, and under one person, allow the establishment of the Buddha Kingdom in the Eight Great Immortal Domains of the West."
The grand sound of congratulations was transmitted from the heavenly palace behind the South Heavenly Gate.
The big Buddha standing on the top of the sky, standing with one hand in front of the Lingxiao Hall behind the Nantian Gate, was erected with one hand, and his eyes were merciful:
"Thank you, old monk, Your Majesty."
…………
In the midst of chaos.
A sword carrying the will of the Divine Soul of the Landing Cliff cut through time and space, and under the power of the God List, it left the True Martial Palace.
And before leaving.
I also saw the big Buddha that rose from the fairy world.
"Emperor Buddhism, which Buddha is the sermon?"
Lu Ya, who was shuttling in the infinite colorful space-time bubble, was also flashing in his heart:
"It's not Shakyamuni Buddha."
The Buddha of Buddhism is equivalent to the emperor of the Heavenly Court.
The Buddha is equivalent to the Taoist Ancestor, the Heavenly Venerable, and the Four Directions God.
There is only one Buddha, and that is Nyolai.
But there are many Buddhas.
Such as burning lamps, medicine masters, Amitabha, Shakyamuni and so on.
Like the emperor of the heavenly court, there are many statues.
There are so many Buddhas, and in the end, only Shakyamuni Buddha became the ancestor of all Buddhas, and he enlightened the "Buddha".
In Buddhism, "such as" means as if it does not move, and it means always and constantly.
In the Daomen, always present and constant, which is the Tao, is called "the Tao can be the Tao, not the constant Tao".
Therefore, "such as" is both "Tao".
If it comes, it can also be called the Tao, which is the meaning of Buddhism's enlightenment.
The Buddha is both Da Luo and Tianzun, and can also be called the Taoist ancestor.
This is said to be the Buddha, and it is the Tao.
"In the heavenly court, there is now the Jade Emperor, the future lord of ten thousand heavens, the king of ten thousand paths, and the predecessor of the Great Heavenly Venerable incarnation of the Great Dao, if there is one more Buddha Sect and the future ancestor of ten thousand Buddhas, the predecessor of 'Shakyamuni Buddha'......"
Lu Ya's heart was heavy:
"Wouldn't it be more solid for the Jade Emperor's rule."
Thoughts flickered.
A cloud of colorful bubbles has emerged in front of us, a world-like light and shadow, and all kinds of beings are reflected in it.
"Is this the world where Guo'er is suspected of existing?"
[Zhang Xiaoguo's true spirit has been reincarnated in the heavens and ten thousand realms for hundreds of millions of years, so he has to explore how to find him in this realm, and the list master needs to find it himself. 】
From the top of the god list, the handwriting that entangled, collided, and flickered like flowing water emerged.
"Do you want me to find it myself?"
Lu Ya's eyes flashed, and he remembered what he had said to this apprentice back then.
If you have a very good practice, even if I return to the fairy realm in the next day, I will be able to do so.
Now.
And here it came.
"Since Guo'er is in this world, then, let's try to use the Floating Dream Magical Power."
A cloud of light burst out of Lu Ya's divine sense.
"It just so happens that in this dream, the three thousand achievements of cultivation are complete, and by the way, the fruit of the fruit is entered into the Tao."
Floating dreams.
It is the magical immortal technique that Lu Ya obtained from an ancient ruin during the thousands of years of cultivation in the immortal world, which seems to be related to Buddhism.
You can turn a mountain and river into a dream.
In this dream, reversing dreams, true and false cause and effect, is a great magic power against the enemy.
It sounds like an illusion.
However, it is very different from the essence of illusion.
Illusion, after all, is illusion.
However, this technique has a certain level of true and false, true and false, and true and false in nature.
In the past, Lu Ya only had the time to transform into a god.
With this technique, he successfully pulled a million people in a city into a dream, and achieved some extremely incredible things in it, and found what he wanted to find from the dream.
Now.
He is a double immortal path.
Airplanes!
Facing the bubble of light and shadow of the world in front of him, he turned his consciousness into a colorful mist, which was very dreamy.
"Life is a dream, the world is a few cool autumns, this is a world with only the level of true immortals, in such a world, it is not difficult to cultivate immortals, three thousand merits, the difficult thing is to find my fruit."
With a faint sigh from Lu Ya, the immortal soul turned into a dream, integrated into the whole world, and penetrated the origin of the world:
"I hope I'll find you when I wake up from this dream."
Rumble!
This is a universe similar to the ancient world of Earth.
With Lu Ya's immortal soul falling into a dream, it was like a dream, and as soon as the supernatural power moved, the cosmic world suddenly changed, as if he had escaped into a dream.
In this world, there are also immortals, who are true immortals.
Some immortals looked up and looked at the world, and everyone had a feeling as if they were dreaming, and they had fallen into a nightmare.
Is reality a dream, or a dream within a dream?
No one can tell.
………………
………………
Dasheng Tianhua fifteen years.
Changan.
The west wind blows Weishui, and the fallen leaves are full of Chang'an.
"It's on the list, it's on the list!"
A shout from the people around woke Lu Ya, and then his shoulders seemed to be hit by the tide, and more than one person squeezed towards him.
Eyes open.
In sight, there was a street, and people on both sides were crowded on the left and right, and after a while, suddenly there was silence, and the names of people were reported one by one.
"Jinshi and No. 1 are all dragons and tigers among people, and there are twenty-three people on the list."
"First A, champion and first, Xie Tao ......"
"The second first, Tanhua and the first, Xu Lingyun ......"
……
"Thirteen, Jinshi and first, Chen Zheng!"
The moment the name was pronounced, everyone around clapped their hands and congratulated:
"Congratulations to Chen Gongzi, the year of the weak crown, he is only twenty years old, he really deserves to be a true dragon of Tianshui, he is really knowledgeable and outstanding."
"Gifted!"
"Congratulations to Gongzi Chen!"
The people around him got out of the way, and Lu Ya saw that on the wall in front of him, a young man wearing a scarf, with a sturdy body, dark and thick eyebrows, and a handsome face walked along the flow of people.
He came to Lu Ya's side with a little joy:
"Brother Yuan, I've been hit."
Lu Ya was slightly stunned, his heart moved, and he understood that he was calling himself.
Twenty years.
It turns out that he is now called Yuan Shen.
The twenty-year-old young man who won the Jinshi excitedly patted Lu Ya's shoulder: "We all won, you also won Brother Yuan, you are in the seventeenth place, you and I are good brothers on the dragon and tiger list, it is really a good story!" ”
Chen Zheng's words fell.
After a while, the roll call began under the emperor's list: "Seventeen, Yuan Shen." ”
The people around were also pleasantly surprised.
"It turns out that the two Jinshi masters are acquainted."
"It's really a dragon and phoenix unicorn dance, the bird follows the phoenix, and the people are virtuous and virtuous......"
Lu Ya had a calm smile on his face, very quiet.
Looking at Chen Zheng next to him on his shoulder, he can feel his happiness, indeed, his friend is the same as Jinshi and the first, which should be a good story for the ages.
After thanking the people around them, the two of them returned to the inn.
Soon after arriving at the inn, other Jinshi came to look for:
"Two brothers, I will wait for the same high school, tonight as a thank teacher, in the Hongbin Building, there is a teacher and a group of officials to come, please go together."
The teacher refers to the person who reads the papers and the person who takes the examiner in the imperial court.
"Okay." Lu Ya smiled.
Send a few people away.
"Brother, you seem to have changed a little?" Chen Zheng asked.
Lu Ya said to himself: "I was a little confused, I remembered something, but very little, it seemed like I was looking for someone, I don't know who it was......"
"I think you're so happy." Chen Zheng shook his head and smiled, and drank a glass of wine.
Seeing this, Lu Ya said: "This will drink so much, how can I go to see my teacher at night?" ”
Chen Zheng shook his head: "The banquet in the evening is too vulgar, I don't really want to go, it's just a social, it's better for you and me to chant poetry here......"
Halfway through speaking, he suddenly said excitedly:
"In today's middle lift, I am very happy with poetry, and suddenly there are two sentences on the que, read it to you to listen."
Lu Ya nodded.
Wait for Chen Zheng to finish reading.
He looked at Lu Ya expectantly and asked, "How." ”
Lu Ya listened carefully and tasted it, this one is just Shangque, it gives people a sense of the author's extraordinary talent, and he can't help but sigh: "The style is elegant and the interest is outstanding." ”
However, while sighing, he always felt that these two sentences were still lacking in some subtle places, but he couldn't say what was missing.
responded to the sentence "The article is the best, just two words 'just right'", but these two words, like cooking and cooking, how to grasp the heat, how to make those spoons, extremely appropriate, is the most difficult.
"Haha, brother, you also think it's good, I won't tell you, I am even happier than my Jinshi and the thirteenth to praise my poetry with such a compliment." Chen Zheng said: "You also know that my dream is to become a poet, I hope that my poems can be immortal, and it is best to put the poetry collection on the case of the romantic people in Chang'an before my death, which is my greatest wish." ”
The two talked a few more lines of poetry.
In the middle of the moon, Lu Yacai and the reluctant Chen Zheng went to Hongbin Tower for a banquet.
There were not many people at the banquet, but all the twenty-three high school jinshi had arrived, and sitting at the top was the invigilator of the Ministry of Officials, an old man in his sixties, and two officials from the Ministry of Officials on the left and right.
Lu Ya and Chen Zheng drank with everyone at the banquet.
He saw Chen Zheng looking at the other Jinshi and toasting respectfully and flatteringly to the waiter of the "Teacher" Rite Department, showing a trace of discomfort.
But at this time, the old man of the Ministry of Rites turned to look at Chen Zheng with a smile and said, "I heard that you have been talented since you were a child, and you are good at writing poems, can you have poems tonight?" ”
The crowd looked at it.
Chen Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Tonight, tonight......"
"No poetry?" The squire asked with a smile.
Chen Zheng defended: "The students are not inspired tonight. ”
"That's fine." The squire smiled, "Then continue to drink the bar." ”
At this time, there were other scholars in the banquet immediately, and said: "Tonight's situation and this scene can be said to be peach and plum without words, and the next is a strange thing, the student has a poem, and I hope the teacher will appreciate it......"
As he spoke, he recited a poem of the Seven Rules.
Lu Ya listened, but he was just neat and tidy, and he was not very talented.
Immediately afterwards, there were also two scholars who wrote poems on the spot.
Although it was not very good, it could be seen that the old man of the Ministry of Rites was very happy, and praised them with a smile.
After the night was over.
Lu Ya and Chen Zheng walked on the street.
He looked at Chen Zheng and asked, "Brother Zhou, why didn't you take out the song you told me before you went to the banquet, it was much better than those people who read it casually." ”
Chen Zheng frowned and said: "My poem is not finished, besides, I can write poetry, but how can I write it for kitsch flattery, this is not me Chen Zheng." ”
Lu Ya said: "I'm afraid you have offended the squire tonight." ”
Chen Zhengdao: "Why, just because I don't write poetry, I really don't have inspiration. ”
"Whether you write poetry tonight is a matter of talent, and whether you do it or not is a matter of attitude." Lu Ya sighed: "The officialdom wine field has been like this since ancient times. ”
"Hmph." Chen Zheng snorted lightly: "You have also become vulgar." ”
Lu Ya looked at Chen Zheng and said, "Friend, you haven't been doing this in this officialdom for a long time." ”
"Perhaps." Chen Zheng said nonchalantly: "But you also know that I am ready to make a name for myself with poetry." ”
That night, the two of them went back to the inn.
Soon, Lu Ya and Chen Zheng were Jinbang Jinshi, and both of them filled their official positions, and Lu Ya made up for the school scrivener, just a clerk who proofread books and classics.
Although Chen Zheng has a higher ranking, he is also just a school scholar.
Lu Ya always faintly felt that he still had a lot of things to remember, just like waking up from a dream, illusory, what he had experienced, only approximately, what it was, I can't say.
However, there was an instinct that told him to find someone, and at the same time, not forgetting but doing good deeds.
But do good deeds, don't ask about the future.
That is, to do everything that is in front of you.
That is, to do a good job as a school scrivener.
However, Lu Ya and Chen Zheng became school scriveners.
Three months later.
"I'm going to resign, I can't stay here any longer."
Chen Zheng said angrily:
"Mixing with a group of flattering barnyard officials every day, my talent is going to be worn out, this is definitely not the life I want."
"Have you thought about it, you have a reputation that you have won the test with great difficulty." Lu Ya persuaded: "All Jinshi started from the school scrivener, and if you want to realize your dreams, you must endure some loneliness in the early stage." ”
"It's not that I can't stand loneliness, if it's with someone like my friend you, I'd be happy, but I look down on those sycophants in this courtyard, I don't think they have dignity."
Chen Zheng shook his sleeves and said:
"You know that my dream is to leave a name for myself, instead of being in the company of such a vulgar person now, groveling in front of vulgar officials all the year round, I might as well go home and study my own poetry collection, and make a good work in the future, and the celebrities will win my heart, fame and fortune."
"Alright then, I'll send you."
In this way, three days later, Chen Zheng resigned.
Lu Ya came to see him off outside Chang'an City.
"At the time of parting, I have a poem for you to give to your friend."
Chen Zheng recited the farewell poem he had written.
Lu Ya wrote it down, and it was indeed very well written, with beautiful writing and beautiful writing, but it still felt that there was something missing in some very subtle places.
"Okay, I'm leaving, you can wait for me to make a good poem in Chang'an."
Chen Zheng waved goodbye:
"When the time comes, my poems will come to see you instead of me, and they will be placed on the desks of all the merry people in Chang'an City, and I will invite you to my hometown, and we will get drunk and rest."
Lu Ya waved goodbye.
looked at the back of Chen Zheng sitting in the carriage and leaving.
Lu Ya somehow thought of a poem in his heart.
Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green
The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain
The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered
A scoop of turbid wine is all over the place, don't dream cold tonight.
"Who made this poem?" He said to himself: "I didn't do it, I just remembered it, but, very well, I hope my friend can make a poem like this." ”
Then, he turned around and returned to Chang'an, to continue to be a school scholar, but to do good deeds, regardless of the future, and to do the things in front of him.
Two years later, Lu Ya was promoted to the rank of foreign officer.
One night, when he was studying on the case, he suddenly thought of Chen Zheng:
"It's been two years, I don't know how my friend Chen Zheng is doing now?"
