Chapter 20 There is no way in the heart

The great favor is the hatred, and the great hatred is not mentioned and the two are not lost.

One is the emperor of the previous dynasty, and the other is His Royal Highness the prince of the current dynasty, and the two characters who should have been deeply hated and hated each other were able to calm down and discuss with each other the major events of the country that have happened over the years.

The empty monk glanced at Shen Jin'an, and said slowly: "Although the old man has lived in the mountains for a long time, he still has a little knowledge of the things outside, and now the Huayang Dynasty is located on the cusp of the storm, although it looks ordinary from the surface, but sometimes it only takes a small wind and small waves, and it will affect the whole body, at that time it is a hundred zhang wind and waves, I don't know how His Highness should respond when the time comes?" ”

Shen Jin'an was stunned for a moment: "Really? ”

The empty monk's face turned up slightly: "Later Chu Emperor Xiong Hui once said that an extraordinary bird does not fly for three years and does not sing for three years, but as long as it takes off, it will soar into the sky, and as long as it chirps, it will be a blockbuster." ”

Shen Jinan leaned on the railing and said softly: "You still love to tell jokes as always." ”

The empty monk glanced at the books that were not covered with dust, and the last slight regret in his heart disappeared for a while, and said softly: "Emperor Hou Chu has been addicted to wine for three years, and Emperor Zhu Li of the former Ming Dynasty has devoted himself to the pigsty for five years. ”

Shen Jinan said with emotion: "You are joking, there are countless heroes in the rivers and lakes, and the high-ranking officials in the temple are even more one-handed to cover the sky, Fanbang country, you fight for me, so it looks like this world is going to be chaotic, I still lie at home and sleep comfortably for a few days, go out to see the flowers and water outside, I am different from you, the Buddhist family is to see everything clearly, I still have to be confused, at least it is quiet." ”

The empty monk smiled: "If Your Highness is so decisive, then the old monk has nothing to say, self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and the world, and the only thing the old man can do now is self-cultivation." ”

Shen Jinan casually flipped through a somewhat quaint Buddhism and said: "It's okay, boy, my time is still rich, maybe when I want to accumulate a lot, the world will already be thriving, and then I will take back what belongs to me." “

The empty monk frowned, and Shen Jin'an looked at the empty monk a little unconvinced, and asked, "What's the matter, don't believe me." “

Monk Likong looked at Shen Jin'an's luxurious clothes and looked at the patched robe on his body, and said with a dumb smile: "The old monk naturally believes that the Buddha is destined for people, but for the kind of people who have lofty ambitions and are insincere, their ability is always limited. “

"Don't talk about that, I have some other things to do with you this time." Shen Jinan chuckled.

The empty monk coughed twice, picked up the kettle next to him and drank two sips, and said with a sigh of relief: "Your Highness can come to me, and he has already given the old man a big face, and it doesn't hurt to say anything about it." “

"After your defeat back then, you wanted to retreat to the mountains and forests, but your men still hid a lot of money, according to the news I knew some time ago, almost 500,000 taels. So this time, I'm going to borrow the money like you. Shen Jinan said bluntly.

After hearing this, the empty monk laughed three times, and the wrinkles on the corners of his eyes piled up together, squeezing into a small mountain: "Your Highness still can't bear it when he arrives." “

Shen Jinan also sneered: "The main thing is that you always don't say it, if I don't say it again, I'm afraid we won't talk about this issue today." You turned out to be the emperor above 10,000 people, and you said that the monks don't speak, can you deceive me. “

When the monk heard this, he was silent, only the Buddha beads in his hand turned slightly.

Shen Jinan quipped: "A year and a half ago, the sticky pole fence found the head of the Internal Affairs Office who was originally disarmed and returned to the field, and got the news. If you say no word now, I'll turn around and leave, and no one else will come here to bother you. ”

For Shen Jin'an's words, Monk Likong naturally believed it, although His Royal Highness the Prince in front of him was ridiculously famous, but Monk Likong didn't believe that Shen Jin'an would really be as unsightly as it seemed on the surface.

The monk shook his head, talked twice, and finally dissipated the appearance of a high-ranking monk on his face.

The big bad guy meets the little bad guy.

Shen Jin'an was not too embarrassed by the empty monk, and said solemnly: "The little monk who went up the mountain with me today can let him go to Beiyan twice more in the future." “

Monk Likong said softly: "Dao Xin is quite famous in our place, especially under my senior brother Sanquan. “

Shen Jin'an said a little helplessly: "I know he is very powerful, if he is not powerful, can you give him your heirloom treasure?" It was eighteen arhats polished from a whole piece of yellow rosewood. If it spreads to the community, I don't know how many rich businessmen will fight for it. “

The empty monk smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, don't be sarcastic about the old monk, after all, mundane things are mundane things, for us there is not much difference between golden silk nanmu and rotten wood, if His Royal Highness is willing to come to our Tongtai Temple, I can persuade the senior brother to let him give you the treasure of the temple as a gift." “

Shen Jinan hurriedly waved his hand: "If you let me come here for a walk and have nothing to do, I will naturally welcome it, but if I am asked to come here to suffer hardships and sins, and recite scriptures all day long, then you should kill me." ”

The empty monk seemed to see through Shen Jin'an's heart, and said softly: "Yuzhou is located in the Central Plains, not only are there many monks and nuns, but there are also many nunnery. Every mid-year and year-end celebrations, the corresponding temples will also be organized to conduct exchange meetings. “

Shen Jin'an nodded in agreement: "If that's the case, I can seriously consider it."

Seeing that Shen Jin'an was interested, the monk took out a book from a pile of Buddhist scriptures, which contained more than forty portraits of nuns of all kinds, even though many years had passed, these albums were still lifelike, bright and moving.

Shen Jin'an smiled when he saw the portrait, saw the incomprehension of the empty monk, and said with a smile: "You don't look like a monk now, but like a turtle boy in the streets and alleys, holding a white paper fan, with the front saying Mrs. Shi, you will be from the old man, and the back side says Mrs. Shi, you will spare the old man." “

The empty monk was amused by Shen Jin'an's words, and sighed after a while: "The old man is a little older. “

Shen Jin'an walked all the way out of Tongtai Temple, and Xiao Wuzi stood on the steps with a serious body, and the big black bow was wrapped in a cloth bag by Xiao Wuzi.

Shen Jinan walked to the side of the carriage and greeted slightly: "I'm really embarrassed, I forgot the time when I talked to people." ”

During the slow journey, Shen Jin'an closed his eyes and concentrated, first kept recalling what the empty monk said to himself just now, don't look at the empty monk now has no long things, but he can't fall down, he can wave the army between gestures, as for whether the Huayang Dynasty knows about the existence of the empty monk Shen Jin'an is not interested at all, the only thing that makes Shen Jin'an curious now is where the 500,000 taels of gold and silver exist, and whether that position is real.

Thinking of the future of some complicated situation, Shen Jinan couldn't help but dizzy, his mind was finally fixed on the Buddhist scriptures with a nun's face, Shen Jin'an kept shaking his head, hoping to get these thoughts out of his head, although the building will fall, the storm is about to rise, but for the things that have not completely happened in the future, after all, it is still not too unfounded, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover this is Shen Yue's favorite words before the big war.

"You went to the Scripture Pavilion of Tongtai Temple?" Lu Jiangnan raised his eyebrows and saw the ancient book in Shen Jin'an's hand.

"You understand." Shen Jinan first praised and said: "When you go to other people's houses as a guest, you can't come back empty-handed, but the empty monk told me, saying that if I am willing to be a monk here, not only will I give a few graceful nuns, but also let me enter and exit the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion casually." ”

Hearing Shen Jin'an say this, Lu Jiangnan said with great interest: "You are not even tempted by this kind of ruffian? ”

Seeing that Lu Jiangnan looked down on himself a little, Shen Jinan patted his chest and said: "The world laughs at me for being too crazy, I laugh at the world for not being able to see through it, thousands of flowers have passed, and not a single leaf touches my body."

Lu Jiangnan snorted coldly and stopped speaking after ascending to the disciple.

Shen Jinan said to himself: "When I was a child, I always thought that the martial arts sects in the world were all some grandstanding generals, otherwise, how could I let the Northern Yan army step on the mountain gate?" But now it seems that there is some truth, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, experience will always grow with the growth of knowledge, this book of Buddhism, although simple, but it gives people a feeling of simplicity. ”

If ordinary people were standing next to Shen Jin'an and hearing such remarks, they would probably think that this good-looking young man came from somewhere.

As soon as Shen Jin'an and his entourage came out of Tongtai Temple, they saw the Taoist monk in a red robe, and Shen Jin'an stretched out his hand and motioned for Xiao Wuzi to listen to the carriage.

The Daoxin monk was also not polite, and raised the bowl in his hand and handed it to Shen Jin'an.

Shen Jin'an looked down and saw that there were a few wild flowers in the bowl.

"What's wrong? Are you here to make a relationship with me, or are you asking me to make a relationship with you? Shen Jin'an opened his mouth and smiled.

Monk Daoxin said seriously: "This is what Xixia asked me to give you, and she said that this is a gift for you." “

Shen Jin'an took the wildflower and put it in his hand, and said calmly: "Look like you seem to be going out to travel?" “

Monk Daoxin nodded and said, "On the orders of Uncle Shi, I will go to Beiyan to travel to Pudu sentient beings." “

Shen Jinan smiled mysteriously and said, "Then we will meet again later." “

Just as the carriage was slowly moving forward, Shen Jin'an suddenly thought of something and asked loudly, "Why are you walking so fast?" You should be later than I came down. “

The Taoist monk clasped his hands together and said, "The little monk has no way in his heart, so there will be more roads." “
