"You know pretty well." Shen Jinan said with emotion.

Lu Jiangnan didn't speak, as if he was disdainful of Shen Jin'an's praise.

"And what realm are you?" Shen Jin'an once again returned to the original question.

Lu Jiangnan said softly: "There are three human steps. ”

Shen Jin'an was stunned when he heard it: "I thought you were so good at it, you dared to compete with you to recruit relatives by your means, and you weren't afraid that others would really marry you home?" ”

Lu Jiangnan was furious and snorted coldly: "Looking for death." ”

Hearing Lu Jiangnan's scolding, Shen Jin'an didn't dodge this time: "When I learn martial arts, I will marry you in the future." ”

The sudden confession made Lu Jiangnan's face red, and his already somewhat pink face was even more shy like a peony flower. "The person you want to marry must be a hero of the world, not a scoundrel like you. I advise you to put your mind away, you help me find the sword book, and the two of us will break up. ”

Shen Jinan was unimpressed: "The more fierce the little lady, the more flavorful she will be when she conquers." ”

"Scoundrel splashing." Lu Jiangnan shook off Guihong, and he continued to close his eyes and recuperate.

When Shen Jin'an saw Lu Jiangnan's behavior, he suddenly felt a little more good in his heart, he always showed a fierce appearance when he was usually shy, but he didn't expect to be so moving when he was shy.

"Childe, where are we going next?" Xiao Wuzi asked Shen Jin'an in a whisper through the roller blinds.

"The Central Plains has fought many wars since ancient times, but it is also where Buddhism flourishes." Shen Jinan said as if answering.

Buddhism originated in the Western Regions, and after more than 100 years of polishing in the Three Dynasties, it has gradually integrated into the life of the people in the Central Plains.

The Huayang Dynasty has always adopted an attitude of worshipping the Buddha and stepping on the Tao for the two factions of Buddhism and Taoism, one is because the Murong family, which is a royal family, believes in Buddhism, and one of the ancestors of the Murong family has been a monk three times, and the other is because Taoism has always paid attention to obeying the mandate of heaven, which is completely different from the rebellious concept of the Murong family. However, after all, Taoism has been preaching for thousands of years, and it can never be beaten to death with a stick, so Buddhism has also been carried forward because of this.

Since ancient times, there have been many wars in the Central Plains, and when the people were displaced and desperate, they began to believe in the Buddha, hoping to be reincarnated in the West as soon as possible, and the temples of the Central Plains prospered over time.

The Central Plains is known as every ten miles must have a temple, every hundred miles must have a temple, among which when the temple in Yuzhou is the most, the incense is naturally the most prosperous, the most prosperous incense in Yuzhou is the Tongtai Temple.

Tongtai Temple is located in the border area of Yuzhou, within a radius of more than 300 miles are temples, and there are more than 8,000 monks and nuns. The red wall and yellow fence surround it, relying on the middle of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, four Bodhisattva temples are among them, eighteen temple towers are on both sides of the arch guard, the height of ten zhang Protector Veda stands outside the temple gate, presents the boundless appearance of Buddhism, the temple has been built for a hundred years and countless people who think about cultivating the Buddha in a steady stream, or kneel under the mountain gate, or chant outside the temple gate.

"Childe, it's so lively here." As soon as he entered Yuzhou, Xiao Wuzi looked around and said.

Shen Jin'an said in a paused tone: "This is natural, how can the Buddhist holy land with the name of Wudang not be worthy of its name." ”

"Shouldn't Tongwu be Shaolin?" Xiao Wuzi asked curiously.

"Shaolin is a holy place for Buddhism in this dynasty, but the holy land is a holy place after all, but Tongtai Temple is the place where the emperor was transformed." Shen Jin'an explained in a low voice.

"Where the Emperor is tempered?" Little Wuzi Road.

Shen Jin'an lifted the curtain and whispered: "Emperor Xiao Yan of Later Liang is a monk here. ”

When the emperor appeared these four big characters, Xiao Wuzi was taken aback, and said appreciatively; "Childe, you know so much, you got it from books."

Shen Jin'an smiled slightly: "It's not, that Xiao Yan's head was cut off by watching Huo Ping." ”

Xiao Wuzi shrugged his shoulders and continued to drive the carriage.

"I said how you are a little different from others, it turns out that the things you have seen since you were a child are different." Lu Jiangnan said sarcastically.

Shen Jin'an didn't care: "That's no way, if you talk about it, I'm more related to the Buddha." ”

Just when Shen Jinan wanted to continue, two hundred monks rushed towards the carriage.

"Childe."

Xiao Wuzi subconsciously asked, and Shen Jin'an said boldly after seeing a burly martial artist flying over the carriage: "It's not coming to us, you just drive over directly." ”

After seeing all the monks and soldiers passing by him, Xiao Wuzi said, "Childe, who are those people just now?" ”

"Yuzhou is different from other states and counties in the world, it is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and most of the surrounding land is the product of temples. Shen Jinan pointed to a restaurant in front of him and said: "I have eaten from outside in the past few days, my son has some nausea, Xiao Wuzi, find a restaurant in front, let's improve the food." ”

The moment he saw the menu, Xiao Wuzi just swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, pushed the menu in front of Shen Jin'an intact and said, "Childe, why are there all vegetarian dishes on this menu, and there is no meat at all." ”

Shen Jinan replied: "Most of the people who eat here are pilgrims who are preparing to go up or down the mountain, since they are pilgrims, there are naturally rules, and wine and meat naturally cannot be eaten easily. ”

"Won't you get tired of eating meat all the time?" Xiao Wuzi lowered his head and leaned into Shen Jin'an's ear and said.

Shen Jin'an naturally ignored what Xiao Wuzi said, but turned his head to Lu Jiangnan and said, "What do you want to eat?" Today I have a treat. ”

Lu Jiangnan glanced at the menu and said, "It doesn't matter. ”

At this time, Shen Jin'an's gluttony and gentleman's attributes were at their fullest: "The Central Plains region is in war all the year round, meat is scarce, and there was a saying that a chicken is ten catties of rice." However, the Central Plains is fertile, the water source is high-quality, the fruits and vegetables are naturally luxuriant, the beans are the best in the Central Plains, fresh soybeans are squeezed into juice, and then put into the brine to precipitate, pressed into shape, put into the pot and stuffy the lid, this dish is half completed, but this is not the point, the point is the soy sauce on our table, eat tofu here, you must dip it in soy sauce to eat, so that you can get the salty flavor of the tofu into it. ”

Just listening to Shen Jin'an's words, Xiao Wuzi's saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth, and Xiao Er on the side also gave a thumbs up and said: "This guest officer, at first glance, you are an expert who knows how to eat, and you can tell the characteristics of our restaurant well, you are really the only one for so many years, that's right, the secret of making tofu is to steam it before it comes out of the cage." ”

Shen Jinan put down the menu and said, "One serving of vegetarian beef, one plate of fried bean sprouts, another plate of green vegetables, and three bowls of rice." ”

Xiao Er, who took the menu, said loudly: "Okay, guest officer, wait a minute." ”

The dishes were not yet ready, and the three of them had to stare at each other.

Xiao Wuzi naturally didn't need to say much, his eyes were bright, for fear that he didn't know where two dark arrows would come.

Lu Jiangnan naturally closed his eyes and recuperated, and Shen Jinan always felt that Lu Jiangnan had some superb martial arts skills, even if he didn't open his eyes, he could practice.

Shen Jin'an, who had nothing to do, lay on the table, staring at the chopstick cage on the table with his hand, and a figure slowly fell into Shen Jin'an's sight.

It was a woman, a woman of eighteen or nineteen years old, carrying a bamboo basket on her wrist, and the bamboo basket was not filled with flowers, but with some high incense candles and the like.

Unlike the women who sell flowers elsewhere, there are very few women who sell flowers in Yuzhou, but there are countless women who sell high incense.

"Childe, isn't there something unlucky?" Xiao Wuzi frowned, and subconsciously prepared to blast away the incense seller.

In fact, this is not entirely to blame Xiao Wuzi, in his impression, only around the Qingming Festival will there be people selling incense on the street.

Shen Jinan shook his head, and beckoned the flower girl to come over and said, "Bring me three pillars of fragrance." ”

The girl smiled and said, "Good fortune for the donor." ”

The corner of Shen Jin'an's eyes also glanced at the bamboo ring on the girl's wrist, that kind of bamboo ring is not a bamboo ring sold casually on the market, this kind of bamboo is an old bamboo that can only be turned into after years of being influenced by incense, this kind of bracelet is not only made of hard material, but it will not hurt it even if it is chopped with a knife and axe, and the most important thing is that only female disciples who have received ordination can wear it.

"What's your name?" Shen Jin'an asked calmly.

Before the girl could speak, Lu Jiangnan, who had been closing her eyes, glanced at Shen Jin'an, and seemed to be extremely disgusted with the kind of gentleman in Shen Jin'an's bones.

"The little girl has no surname, just call me Xixia." The woman took the copper coin handed over by Shen Jin'an and said.

"Good name, the person who named you should be a high-ranking monk." Shen Jin'an didn't completely break the way.

Xi Xia was slightly stunned, a little surprised that Shen Jin'an was able to see through his identity.

The temple is different from the nunnery, although they are always accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green lantern, but the perception of Buddhism is completely different.

Xixia has no father and mother since he was a child, and was raised by the Sanquan host in the temple, and later although he looked forward to being able to become a monk, the Sanquan host always stopped Xixia from becoming a monk on the grounds that the time was not right and the red dust was not broken, but he couldn't resist Xixia's thoughts, so he had to remove a bamboo bracelet to make a bracelet, and then he reluctantly accepted Xixia as a lay disciple.

According to the usual temple rules, the temple is not allowed to accept female disciples. However, everyone in the temple loved this gentle and considerate girl, so they did not pursue it.

Because when the host of Sanquan saw Xixia, it was a summer, and he picked it up next to a small stream, so he named it Xixia.

Xixia is also well-behaved and sensible, and he goes down the mountain to sell flowers during the day, and waits until night when there is no one around before sneaking up the mountain.

"Childe, if you are fine, Xixia will leave." Xixia whispered.

Shen Jin'an nodded slightly, and watched Xi Xia go downstairs.
